“2% mortality rate of COVID cases. Not 2% of the population. So the more transmission of the virus was suppressed, via lockdowns, social distancing measures etc, the less deaths.”
The media and government told us that without lockdowns, almost everyone would get it and it would lead to well upwards of 3-4 million deaths. They kept saying over and over, Nancy Pelosi specifically comes to mind, that there would be at least 3-4 million deaths if we dont do a shutdown.
The lockdowns, social distancing measures, etc. saved millions of lives, which is a good thing.
But why is the USA (which has one of the biggest populations in the world) comparing itself to every tiny country. Rather we should be judging it on a state by state basis. Or, if the USA is one country, then so is all of Europe.
Also, we know that China, Iran and possibly Russia among other countries, are massively downplaying their numbers.
