The most important stat that really matters is that the daily reported death rate has peaked (at 54, now down to 36) and is thnakfully on a downward spiral. Comparing these 210 deaths (forecast 283) from the Corona Covid-19 Virus ‘Pandumbic’ to our Annual Death Rate we get a percentage of 0.0068% of the annual death rate. We 'LOCKed DOWN' the entire country for this tiny figure, endangering the economic livelihood of thousands, while the the Govt is now spending millions and millions to keep it propped up. Remember our Healthcare system was in crisis before all this! and they didn't throw half as much money at it.

Like everyone has their own opinion which is fair enough but to say that this virus "doesn't exist" was just going too far imo 210 deaths from a virus that "doesn't exist" I do hope Leo and the lads stick to their guns and not give into the pressure that is going to come on them to re open the country too soon, Stick together, look out for each other and we'll all come through this.
