Hardly a health pandemic- but a pandemic of panic , "the worst depression since 1709", adverse effects on non Covid health issues, education, mental health, loss of civil liberties, domestic violence etc & it has not even begun to bite yet what with furlough payments eating out incentives.

And you worry about masks?
The real pandemic is def the panic, alarm etc, and the draconian measures - which create much more bad health, death etc than the Corona virus itself.

I have for a long time been interested in the difference between deaths infected with Corona, and deaths directly caused by Corona. Public Health of Sweden have now stated that all people infected with Corona are in the official ”death statistics”, but only ca 15% of them died directly from Corona!

The first six months in Sweden more people died compared to other years, but in July and August much fewer have died. This is due to the fact that those who died in March-April were very fragile, and would have, tragically, died soon anyway. If this continues the death rate could be equivalent to most years...

This is Sweden, but, since we talk about the same virus, I imagine it could be similar in many other countries.

And people and governments want stricter measures, lockdowns etc, you couldn’t make it up. When will the world wake up?
