Myocarditis?

Hackman is brilliant.

Economically? What about socially, mentally, physically, and particularly for our children, developmentally?

What about increased suicide, drug overdoses domestic violence? What about the numbers showing young people in particular including millennials are reporting depression and despair on orders of magnitude greater than before Covid shut downs?

It is astounding how so many who have little to no education in this matter believe they are somehow specially empowered to define this matter-even to those whose knowledge is formally informed. (Yes, there are ideologues within the medical community-they are not an enlightened exception here.) If one has a poor understanding of this matter, which includes you, what you say here makes sense. However, your statements are half-truths and you do not understand the other half that fills the gap and completes the truth. Yes, we have not been able to make much of a dent in this pandemic virus. And it revolves around the why. You clearly demonstrate no understanding as to WHY the failure to arrest this virus continue. And sadly, no amount of explaining will result in your understanding. 

Along the same lines though, countries with minimal restrictions aren't economic or social outliers to the positive.  So avoiding lockdowns also doesn't produce many incremental positive effects, unfortunately. Turns out long lasting, deadly global pandemics suck regardless of how we react to them because they're disruptive enough themselves. Whoda thunk?

Sweden's economy contracted by 8.6%, only slightly better than the EU as whole and about the same as its far more strict neighbors: "That is less than other countries hit hard by Covid-19, such as Italy, Spain and the UK, but still similar to the rest of Scandinavia. Sweden's unemployment rate of 9% remains the highest in the Nordics, up from 7.1% in March."

Look at Japan's suicide rate which has spiked even though they haven't locked down: "We didn't even have a lockdown, and the impact of Covid is very minimal compared to other countries ... but still we see this big increase in the number of suicides," said Michiko Ueda, an associate professor at Waseda University in Tokyo, and an expert on suicides.

I'd still rather avoid any lockdowns, but acknowledge that 1) in the absence of mask wearing that people continue to refuse to do, it's probably the only way to avoid overwhelming the healthcare system and 2) it's a really, really hard balance to know how strongly we should be trying to avoid that.

It would have been nice if we could have done what Japan did which was to never lockdown and avoid massive healthcare burdens.  How did they do it? Mask wearing, cooperative contact tracing, effective testing programs, careful populace.

Man if you don't get it by now, you never will.  So why waste time trying to offer you facts, etc.

Anyway, the fact that you wrote "it is what it is" says...pretty much all we need to know.

You need to read up on Australia...
