I'm not sure if these have been posted, but they are both worth the read.

Notice that more than 50,000 medical practitioners and public health scientists have signed support of the Great Barrington Declaration. Newsom and crew want us to "follow science." Well, I am. The science does not support these shutdowns.
There are at least 14,139,577 diagnosed coronavirus cases in the United States and approximately 276,325 deaths (according to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center). That means the US has a Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of about 2.0%. That’s a lower CFR than China, United Kingdom, Italy Australia, Canada, Belgium, Ireland, Spain, Brazil, Sweden, Romania, Greece, France, and a whole host of other countries. We all know that the number of infections is far greater than the number of diagnosed cases, so the actual infection mortality rate is profoundly lower than 2.0%
The US is always going to have more reported infections (in my opinion). We live in what is considered to be a very free society where there is a lot of travel between communities on a daily basis, and there is a substantial amount of interstate commerce. There is also far more reporting of data in the US than in other countries.
So, the US may have higher raw numbers of infections and deaths than some other countries but that in no way surprises me. A person may be more likely to catch Covid in the US than some other countries, but they are also far more likely to survive having caught it in the United States than in those other countries.
Approximately 4% of the United States population has been
diagnosed with having caught Covid; approximately 0.084% of the United States population has unfortunately died from catching Covid. That’s awful for sure, but when this all started there was “sky is falling” talk that 3% or more of the population would die from Covid. That has not proven to be even close to true.
The bottom line is that, in my opinion, the public policy of implementing shutdowns has been an absolute failure.
