Some refreshing fact and common sense about the senseless lockdowns:
Stanford expert blasts COVID lockdown failures: 'We quarantined the healthy ... exposed the sick'

EXCERPT:
Ain’t hindsight a wonderful thing. What this article illustrates are a few cogent points. Some lockdowns were senseless because there was no consensus early on about airborne transmission, asymptomatic carriers and transmission prior to symptom development. We know that Trump was aware of some of these factors early on but did not confirm them publicly. As for death rates, figures were difficult to extrapolate early on, particularly from China, but early European figures I worked on suggested a mortality rate close to 0.7% overall. When working with the unknown only a fool would guess the lower estimate and hope for the best.
The author seems to assume that the US response (along with a few other countries) is representative of the world. My city of more than a million has had a total of 460 odd cases and 4 deaths. We went hard and early with appropriate testing and have reaped the rewards. Kids in schools and even few masks worn. The Us has suffered from a disjointed, uncoordinated response, largely guided by political considerations over the health and well being of its citizens. You had a self confessed cheerleader for a team with no quarterback.
