Granted COVID is serious but coronaviruses are the category of common cold viruses. COVID is novel in the sense of an immunologically naive pollution, not that it is a new class of virus.
Contrary to what much of the public has been led to believe, its been known from very early on that children are not significant sources of infection. There is now evidence the same is true of asymptomatic adults, which prompted the CDC to recommend that asymptomatic people need not be tested.
The CDC estimates only 6% of COVID deaths were actually due to COVID alone. This astounding revelation puts an entirely different face on this pandemic, does it not? perhaps the US does not account for 20% of all deaths worldwide. It was hard to believe anyway.
But even with this revelation, even what we know about testing, who is susceptible, even in the face of an obviously flattened curve, some areas are still locked down and mask mandates are still in force. We hear a candidate vow to “follow the science” and impose a 3 month national mask mandate, even though the pandemic is obviously waning?
COVID has followed a predictable biological course, it’s one remarkable feature was being contagiousness, NOT it’s lethality! And the wonderfully awesome human immune system is functioning as it’s been programmed to for millennia. It wasn’t masks or draconian lockdowns That did it.
