Here in the U.K. we have had 7 worse years in the past 30, naughty Sweden who didn’t really lockdown 24 worse years in the past 30. One day all this will be studied in lecture theatres under the title “the great over-reaction.”
Your thoughts seem akin to Boris Johnson's...initially treating it as a harmless cold, allowing it to spread fervently into every corner of the country, followed by a shambles of a lockdown; then a sudden change of heart last week to, our economy is weakening, get everyone back to work asap...doesn't matter who dies along the way.
