I didn’t but….just for the U.K……a disease that kills just 0.26% of the population over two years or so ……..is by any definition “survivable”………statistically.
I mean if a doctor said to me, “I’m afraid it’s bowel cancer - but the survival rate is 99.74% ……I’d take those odds……..I’d call that “survivable”.
So no, I didn’t post it to get a “reaction” and it’s very sad a lot people died….for a variety of reasons and mistakes…………but it doesn’t change the fact that COVID for the vast majority of the population was very much “survivable”.
My position on this, and lockdowns, I think you will agree has been consistent throughout.
