That cannot be discounted .. That's easily discounted... The protocols were in place while the problem spread and got worse. The protocols they adopted were... useless... which is what the science shows now. They were useless because based in wholly erroneous assumptions about transmissibility and infectivity... and random, and wrong, assumptions about the utility of social distancing and masks given the ERROR in those other assumptions. What altered the mortality... and it is only the mortality that is a problem that matters in policy... was successful TREATMENT protocols being developed... and NOT any successes in prevention... The preventive medicine effort... totally failed... because wrong about everything. It was providers... who changed the outcome... by disregarding the recommendations of the public health officials and doing what worked instead of what they were told to do... Why do you never hear about anyone needing a ventilator any more ? Because... ivermectin... Mortality now well under 0.003%... where proper care is available ? No real justification for any policy imposing limits with rates below ~1.0% (equivalent to a bad flu bug)? But, of course, there are lots of places where proper care is NOT routinely available... so there are still 10,000 people dying from this every day... according to this report ... Hydroxycholorquine (zinc, vitamin D, etc.) being adopted early on... as it should have been... would likely have saved many, many lives... the reported deaths now at 3.33 million... "estimated" total over 7 million... are mostly deaths cause by government and the bureaucratic incompetence of "the establishment". But, also, its not over yet ? Deaths per day again near the prior peak... and still going up... yet... no one cares enough to do anything about fixing what's broken... as it is someone else's problem now... ?
