I can understand that governments were caught cold early 2020.
But the big mistake was to go in panic mode, spreading fear, and globally looking completely outwitted. I speak about Western "developped" countries, the developping countries having for most of them handled it much better.
I dont attach any importance to "covid death" numbers anounced by governments and government controlled media.
The ONLY reliable indicator is the "excess deaths" 2020/2021/2022 compared to the average of the 3 to 5 previous years.
Am on my phone, so not easy to dig up and insert charts.
Another thing to be studied is who are those excess deaths !
A majority of old people, the death rate in care houses or old people centers was horrendous. Sadly, logicly explained by the fact that if you concentrate old, vulnerable persons in one location when the virus enters it will be catastrophic.
But you will notice, that there is very little data or media reporting on that subject.
Next point we need to ask ourself is why we (the West) have such a huge number of people with problems like obesity or diabetes. Sure the "modern" livestyle and fast food mania bears a huge responsability.
You will note that the Covid death rate in Africa is much lower than in the West.
Younger, healthier population is probably the main explanation.
Thanks for the compliment on my food posts !
