Quarantines were implemented without proper understanding of the virus. Right now, governments and experts are afraid of the consequences flowing from proper and more careful evaluation of the data. Careers will over. And I really really hope that these leaders can be prosecuted because they really deserve to go to jail. Governments are trying to to cover ups two ways. 1) using the protests to make Covid stories be swept under the carpet. The powers that be are looking to sweep this under a carpet as fast they can to avoid the discussions that would follow the Covid scare. 2) The governments' second weapon against Covid's consequences is to provide easy money to restore the economy, jobs and the stock market. That is pain avoidance. If the populations do not feel the consequences they are more likely not press to set the record straight. Asymptomatic spread of coronavirus is ‘very rare,’ WHO says PUBLISHED MON, JUN 8 20201:05 PM EDT UPDATED MON, JUN 8 20208:35 PM EDT Government responses should focus on detecting and isolating infected people with symptoms, the World Health Organization said. Preliminary evidence from the earliest outbreaks indicated the virus could spread even if people didn’t have symptoms. But the WHO says that while asymptomatic spread can occur, it is “very rare.” cnbc.com

It's possible when this is all behind us, many Scientists, many Modelers and many Politicians and the Media become so discredited it will be much hard to fight things like Climate change in the future. What's really stood out is that incentives are massively aligned around the wrong things. Scientists need to warn of worst case scenarios to ensure their material gets funding / published and to cover their asses. Scientists who disagree are shunned. Politicians will choose the most negative predictions ( from these outlandish Scientists ) to ensure they have their asses covered & to allow them claim the greatest victory. Modelers have literally no idea about anything except code, and pull assumptions out of their arses and play with numbers to get the desired outcomes. And the media will do anything to get clicks. I wonder if we ever get a chance to see how we got this so wrong, learn from it, and move to more sensible system to help us make smart informed decisions in the future?. Meanwhile we still see bogus science in scientific journals based on methodology that wouldn't pass the smell test in a Primary School project. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/tomfgoodwin_its-possible-when-this-is-all-behind-us-activity-6675864285513580545-1Y-j
