  1. Just how f**king stupid are these politicians? Yes, if you could very strictly lock down the whole world for about 3 or 4 weeks then this virus would go away. But you can't! All this retarded nonsense does is kick the can down the road a few weeks. While reservoirs of infection remain, the virus will ALWAYS bounce back once lockdowns are lifted. Only a complete moron, which is what most politicians are, would fail to grasp this simple fact. We have a highly connected world and no matter how high the vigilance we are not going to prevent infected people crossing borders, and reigniting infection growth. What will definitely work is herd immunity, and Sweden seems to be the only country whose leaders understand this. A lot of cretinous governments are betting their countries' futures on vaccines. However, how many people are going to risk a vaccine that has been rushed through? I've heard parents say there is no way they are giving it to their kids: and they definitely aren't anti vaccination. In the past I've chosen to have typhoid, yellow fever, rabies, and other vaccines, but I won't be touching any covid-19 vaccine. This is a virus that only kills about 1 in 1000, who are mainly very old and/or very ill. In fact the latest IFR estimates are showing that it's probably only a little worse than a bad flu. It's way past time that the fools and cowards that we elect accept that some people are going to die, and that all their lockdowns do is slightly delay those deaths at incredible cost to everyone else, and that they will ultimately cause more deaths than the virus every will.
