The influential Imperial College model that’s been used by governments to justify economic shutdown shows that extreme lockdown policies don’t solve the problem. Instead, according to their own projections, this only delays and worsens the problem in the long run by preventing the development of herd immunity.
Politicians advocating extreme lockdown have no exit strategy apart from faith that a safe and effective vaccine can be developed and distributed globally. This faith-based policy is driving masses of people toward financial ruin, which will also come at a cost in health and lives. Moreover, they are preventing the development of population immunity, which is precisely what will save the most lives at the least cost in the long run.
An interesting idea, perhaps. The problem is that we do not yet well understand the potential immunity development in the “herd.” It’s important to keep in mind that Covid-19 is a novel virus with some peculiar and unexpected characteristics, and has thus from the start posed some unique challengers to scientists. The single consistent characteristic about it is that it has from the start been underestimated.
Funny how Taiwan has an exit strategy, but the West is all lost and confused:

The West is rapidly turning into a basket case!
As all the elderly who die have cause of death listed as corona, when actually any of the several premorbid pre existing conditions had taken them away, we can safely say it’s a nothing virus, even if novel.
Hey, to prove my point I’d be happy to breathe some in, and i wouldn’t have to stay a day in bed.
Hi Michael, my wife, in her 40s, no other heath conditions, was hospitalized over CV 19 – she is fine now but don’t make those assumptions that it only kills those with other health conditions. The Prime Minister of the UK would have died without supplementary oxygen.
The Imperial College are pushing an ideological agenda where economic concerns trump (no pun intended) health concerns. The delay is also required due to the stripping of the NHS (health services) in the UK.
The economy must resume before it is too late
