  1. ​ @dgreyz  There is no "hindsight". All known respiratory viruses, including previous corona viruses, behave in the same way. They infect a lot of people very quickly at the beginning, because many people are susceptible. Herd immunity is created by the increase in non-susceptible (immune) people. In this way the virus loses its breeding ground, so that it can no longer spread (with ease). In other words, the virus is not getting weak, no, the community is getting stronger. History teaches us this, one does not even need to think for it. Yet throughout this corona affair this is (deliberately?) overlooked or concealed. Until there are scientists who have the courage to stick their necks out and say, "No, but wait a minute ..." They don't really have to explain anything. The herd immunity deniers should come up with a plausible explanation as to why it would be different for this current coronavirus. Because they deny logic. So there is no "hindsight", because the principle of herd immunity has long been known and accepted by science. The fact is, that countries now hailed in heaven (like New Zealand) for being able to limit the epidemic with dictatorial draconian measures are terrified because they know (very well) that their populations have not managed to build herd immunity. The best example of this is Australia, which managed to keep out the Spanish flu virus 100 years ago until 1919, through a strict maritime embargo. In 1919, the virus finally entered the country, causing an epidemic that killed thousands of people, while in the rest of the world the virus had withered because much of the world's population had become immune. History can be very educational at times.

  2.  @thomashunt2092  Well, this is sure, the mainstream media is not one of my sources.. They have long lost their credibility. One day they may bring something true, but a lot of people won't believe it anymore. Like the famous village liar, who suddenly shouts "fire" in the street and no one reacts because it comes out of his mouth.

  4.  @kj-zi9fb  Indeed, analysts have studied that. Due to the (very) weak flu season, many vulnerable, weaker elderly people probably survived, who then became ill a few months later, when covid19 showed up, and developed complications on top of their already life-threatening conditions. There will be multiple reasons that one country had more cases and deaths than another. The fact is that Belgium has fared much worse than Sweden in per capita cases. Despite the fact that Belgium applied a heavy lockdown, which was actually never completely lifted. Lockdown that failed to stop the epidemic, delayed herd immunity, devastated the country's economy and resulted in numerous financial and family dramas and bankruptcies. The Belgian government, like many European governments, has still not got the picture They haven't learned anything yet, because they just keep pushing the madness.
