What if thats always been that way?

Google says we have 2000 active/not recovered cases right now

If 10 in hospital, thats 0.5% hospitalisation rate from covid

We had 3,300 in hospital total

660,000 people/11% of the country have had Covid?

Right. It has always been that way. Would be guessing at numbers but hopefully it means that there is more immunity from among those who have had in March, April, and May and were asymptomatic and had a mild form that didn’t meet the criteria for testing at that time.

With any pandemic or indeed any new disease, the sickest declare themselves first. They are obvious and get tested first so the case fatality rate is highest in the beginning and then falls as less severe cases are recognised and testing is more easily available. Screening people with no symptoms then drops the case fatality rate even lower.

Yes definitely

Ok then. So not a lockdown at all. Merely a slight restriction......,

He now knows how the farmers feel. They have been suffering at the hands of frank mallon and Larry Goodman for years.

Exactly. Maybe he and his łike are now feeling a bit of the pressure that farmers etc have been under

Japans has a very low death rate and that will remain imo

37 million people live in Tokyo and only one thousand have died of Covid there, they've had way more cases than us and less death

More people died in 2019 than in 2020 there

They don't seem too worried about it

No matter how low the date rate is, it's based on a % of confirmed cases, the more cases you have the more deaths you will have.

There's a few countries who have had more deaths in the 2nd peak than their first. Countries who some felt had it under control.
Israel & Australia have both had a second peak and more deaths during their second peak than their first..... they have had more cases in their second peak than their first.... see a correlational there?

this guy could do something crazy.

He has every right to be angry, and quite frankly, this new government hasn't taken enough serious/proactive actions, and I am not talking about throwing money left right and center, to mitigate against the impact of C-19 (Schools, high risk industries,...).

Japanese understand the importance of ventilation. Quoting from link below:
(Japan) implemented an unconventional response, bucking WHO guidelines, eschewing widespread testing, and forcing few formal lockdowns. However, Japan masked up early, focused on super-spreader events (a strategy it calls “cluster busting”), and, crucially, trained its public to focus on avoiding the three C’s—closed spaces, crowded places, and close conversations. In other words, exactly the places where airborne transmission and aerosols could pose a risk. The Japanese were advised not to talk on the subway, where windows were kept open. O****ani said they also developed guidelines that included the importance of ventilation in many different settings, such as bars, restaurants, and gyms. Six months later, despite having some of the earliest outbreaks, ultradense cities, and one of the oldest populations in the world, Japan has had about 1,000 COVID-19 deaths total—which is how many the United States often has in a single day.

The only thing that makes peaks is lockdowns.
Eg you get a first wave then you lockdown a couple of weeks later cases flatline.
You open back up, eventually you peak again then you lockdown.
Only thing that made a peak is the lockdown otherwise it’d be an outta control exponential curve.

Way more than 26,372 had Covid

Magnitudes more

Look at all the asymptomatic cases we found in last few days

Hopefully. It is good thing if way more have had it - that means the actual hospitalisation rate of cases and the fatality rate we have seen to date is much lower.
