Still going the wrong way. The “short, sharp lockdown” is not working, apart from destroying the economy. The expert modellers have gone into hiding. Whoops. Amazingly the penny still isn’t dropping. The cost of “saving” lives is racking up. Based on the modelling, and the financial loss to the economy, each life “saved” (obviously they’re not really saved), is costing a couple of million dollars apiece. Now imagine if you had cancer and the life “saving” treatment cost the same. You would have no chance of securing that sort of funding. They would write you off in a heartbeat. Send you away with a sorry. It is total bullshit.
