Amazingly, the usually so alarmist Guardian published this article by a US virologist, which conveys a much more realistic assessment of the danger of the SARS-Cov-2 virus, and is critical of governments’ response.
The problem of course is that no government will ever admit that the initial response was completely irrational and overblown – so the course is set, and we’ll all have to bear and pay for the consequences, unless there is mass resistance.
