It's pretty much obvious now that the lock down that the world (except Sweden) has been under is about 45 to 75 percent based on faulty predictions, fear, and other types of BS.

The problem is that no one is willing to hear anything other than the narrative they've been spooned up over the last couple of weeks, and any attempt at resisting irrationality is met with hostility and accusations of extreme-conspiratorial thinking.

Yes, it's stupid to keep the lock down. Yes, it's stupid to wear masks if you're not feeling sick or you hang around people at risk. Yes, it's stupid to stop people from taking a walk in the park or going to the beach, or even having a party if that's what the heck they want to do.
