The risk of dying from covid between the age groups is not just 10 or 100 times higher bit thousands of times higher.
Covid kills people who tend to have an already low life expectancy just like other causes of mortality
Is it the job of government to tell an 80 year old not to hug their grandchildren or is it their job to provide its citizens with information and allow them to make their own risk assesments? You can still hide behind the couch if you wish to do so. This lockdown had a worse effect on said 80 year old because a year of life is more valuable than to that of a younger person.
We do have a control group in this experiment. Sweden, no lockdowns and no mandatory mask wearing. Why? Evidence or lack thereof of lockdowns causing an net benefit.
So how does Sweden compare to some other countries?
THE Final Word on Sweden. In this short video you see many published papers on lockdowns having mininal effect. And links to papers of the ****ing harms they have cause which you guys are ignoring.
Please take a few minutes to watch this.

And yes veedz, it is a seasonal respiratory virus. You will come out of lockdown going into the summer and wont have to fear another wave. Here we are coming out of lockdown because of xmas in the winter where we can expect an uptick in deaths but wont surpass the real epidemic that hit in march albeit out of season. Because there will be some proportion of the population that haved become aged and comirbid in the last few months.
And masque. Im not for a second saying covid isnt a nasty virus or it isnt real so im ignoring all of that waffle. Im critical of our response to it! Masks seem to help a little. We dont have the studies you silly man!
