Everywhere, there are articles that show that the virus has run its course, as every other virus has done in winters past. Not only that, official reports emerging in Norway and Germany show that this is not becuase of lockdown, but despit lockdown.

The narrative about the pandemic that justified shutting down the world's culture and politcs and economic activity has come unglued. Everywhere, there are articles that show that the virus has run its course, as every other virus has done in winters past. Not only that, official reports emerging in Norway and Germany show that this is not becuase of lockdown, but despite lockdown.

These draconian, repressive government rules have not saved lives, but they have caused enormous disruption and suffering. The practices of this spring have kept us isolated from one another at a time when we need to be talking and organizing, meditating and praying, gathering in person to feel our connections.

The Telegraph: "The lack of evidence lockdowns actually worked is a world scandal"

Norwegian Health Dept: "One could probably achieve the same effect without closing the economy"

German Health Dept calls COVID response a "global false alarm"

Dr David Katz said in March that we need to balance the huge costs of isolation against any benefits from lockdown.

Early on, Dr Knut Wittkowski told us this virus would run its course with or without lockdown

The idea that people without any obvious sign of disease could be the main carriers was based on flawed science from the getgo

Multiple deleted videos from doctors and medical professors, "Perspectives on the Pandemic" Why is Youtube censoring the debate?

Economic implications of the shutdown and bailout
