Hindsight is 2020
Now that academia is looking back on the data, health authorities and scientists are finally realizing the measures we took over the last 2 years may have been a little extreme.
“It’s ok..it was done in the name of health and science. We saved lives.”
Did we though? Is it possible that we focused a little too much on covid that we failed to acknowledge other disasters? The New York Times put out an alarming article last summer about increased overdoses. Was that discussed on your morning news program? It was very clear that lockdown measures were taking a hard toll on the young. Did your local health authority give any mention to the 47% increase of suicides among 5-8 yr olds during any of their televised covid briefings? I doubt it.
24 hours a day, 7 days a week all we could hear about was covid cases, hospitalizations and deaths. On some television channels the numbers were on static display like a NYSE ticker. Fear was pumped into us day and night. 100 years ago we seemed to have a better understanding of the public’s mental health. An effort was made to minimalize fear and stress because we all know a stressed out body is just begging for disease.
“Like the flu but a bit different”
It’s now known that covid has a low fatality rate. It’s a little more dangerous than the flu and it’s the elderly that’s most affected. Where are the death numbers really coming from?
