Fully referenced facts about Covid-19

“German virologist Hendrik Streeck explains the final results of his pioneering antibody study. Professor Streeck found a Covid19 lethality of 0.36%, but explains that this is an upper limit and the lethality is probably in the range of 0.24 to 0.26% or even below. The average age of test-positive deceased was approximately 81 years. Professor Streeck argues that “waiting for a vaccine” is not a good strategy because both the feasibility and effectiveness of a vaccine are uncertain. Biology professor and Nobel Prize winner Michael Levitt, who has been analyzing the spread of Covid19 since February, describes the general lockdown as a „huge mistake“ and calls for more targeted measures, especially to protect risk groups“

While I can understand some of these experts indicating that the lockdown was a mistake I think it ignores a larger world wide cultural issue that has come about. People have become increasingly risk adverse and expect experts to protect them. Let's not forget in Italy scientist were convicted of manslaughter for not knowing if there was going to be a earthquake and not trying to cause a panic based on their uncertainty.

The current cultural climate is to always err towards the most extreme risk adverse action it seems.
