Let's spell it out, for all the idiots to whom it isn't blindingly obvious. All these retarded governments that are enforcing lockdowns, can't offer convincing scientific justification for what they are doing: because there isn't any. So instead of appealing to the brain's higher rational reasoning they are going for people's primitive fear response. And as most people are much more easily swayed by their emotions, rather than being prepared to work things out dispassionately and logically, this is proving to be a very effective way of controlling them. This is why things have become so acrimonious. It's impossible to make a cringing coward, who is blabbering about how he/she is going to die, take a step back and analyse the facts.
