Torque, what tells me that the general worldwide reaction to covid was way over the top is a couple of things.
Firstly we are led to believe for example in the UK, 800-900 people were dying per day at one point. This was when we were all in proper lockdown, nobody was at work, people werent allowed to see their families. How does it make sense that now everybody is back to work & in contact with dozens of people every day of the week its double digit deaths, sometimes single digit deaths every day.
It's simple, in the UK the government almost deliberately killed old people by putting ill people in care homes.
Now they're not doing that anymore, the most fragile people are well protected.
Add to that, the virus is better understood, so people with bad cases of COVID have a much better survival rate than at the beginning.
