I fully understand your frustration.
Downplayed is the correct word.
But why is it downplayed?
An analyst in the Netherlands, named Maurice de Hond, came to the same conclusion.
It surprised him that so many people suddenly became infected during the carnival, which is celebrated exuberantly in the south of the Netherlands (February/March).
The contamination in the ski resort Ischgl in Austria also attracted his attention.
He analyzed these events and found that the infections did not occur outside on the street or on the ski slopes, but during the after parties and apres-ski parties in closed halls, where many people gathered, many of whom (massively) became infected by inhale the contaminated air for hours.
Air that may have been contaminated by only one or a few people.
But in this poorly ventilated space, hundreds of people could be infected through the air.
As an analyst without a medical background, he contacted various epidemiologists, also abroad, who confirmed his analysis that it is transmissible by aerosols.
Maurice de Hond ran against a wall of indifference and reluctance at the government in the Netherlands and the Dutch RIVM still calls aerosol contamination "negligible".
You would think that if you were in a crisis, you would listen to any good advice that is given to you.
Not that you should just accept that good advice without hesitation, but at least you should look at it and study it.
But they (the government) did not do that.
Marice de Hond is also very frustrated, because he realizes how much suffering could have been avoided.

Did you know that the minister of public health in the Netherlands, Hugo de Jonge, forbade GPs to prescribe HCQ?
He called it quackery and commissioned studies on people in intensive care who received harmful high doses of HCQ.
Completely against the practice of the general practitioners, who administered HCQ in a low (safe) dose immediately after the first symptoms, so right after the start of the infection, in order to prevent hospitalization.
Fortunately, studies from abroad are now pouring in that confirm the effectiveness of HCQ in primary care, before hospitalization.
This minister literally has blood on his hands, but appears almost daily with his head on TV, without shame talking about social distancing, mouth masks and other restrictions and vaccines.
There is probably too little profit to be made from HCQ.
As you say, it comes down to money
But you should not think that way, because then you will be dismissed as a conspiracy thinker.
At least it still has the word "think" in it.
What we cannot say about their political narrative.

Thanks, for the Swedish link.
I see remarkably few deaths in Sweden now, in a period (from September) that the number of diseases and deaths traditionally increases annually as winter approaches.
But I see a huge discrepancy between the number of deaths/cases of the "real" epidemic in the spring, compared to what we see now.
That is why this increase is often called a "casedemic" by many people.
Anyway, I think the virus had its best time.
It is clear that group immunity among the population increases with each infection, as a result of which the virus loses its breeding ground.
Apart from seasonal effects (summer), the virus will continue until that point is reached.
One can try to influence it by all kinds of tricks, for example by lockdowns and the like, but that is all only of a temporary nature and can not stop the virus.
Many countries are now catching up with the virus, as they were able to reduce it sharply in April/May with strict lockdowns and were subsequently spared by the summer period.
In Sweden, there was a much slower decline in May, making it look wider, as is usually the case with a flu epidemic.
Belgium and England applied a lockdown this week, while the number of cases was actually leveling off.
This could not possibly be due to that lockdown.
The government-paid virologists shouted for a lockdown and the government went to its knees.
But the only effect that such a lockdown has is that they will stretch the case and the epidemic will last longer.
Correction, not "the only effect".
Another effect is that this "second" lockdown will be even more dramatic for the economy than the first lockdown.
Because many small and medium-sized businesses are already on their knees, making this a final blow to many of them.
