I posted it in here long ago. Not a single country that had a pandemic plan pre Covid considered lock downs in their plan. My assumption is that when cooler heads prevail they thought protect the elderly and high risk. They understood you canโt lock down a disease out of existence and your efforts would do far greater damage. Then this **** hit and everybody took their plan and tossed it out of panic.
The story is from two days ago (dated October 9)I posted it in here long ago. Not a single country that had a pandemic plan pre Covid considered lock downs in their plan.

At first it was testing that mattered when deaths and cases were low. And then only cases mattered when testing was high and deaths are low. And then it was only deaths matter while testing was high and cases leveled off. Now that deaths are leveling off or decreasing, while testing keeps rising, it's only the cases that matter.EL and Mick don't understand that more testing adds more cases.

I lost my uncle last night ( dads baby brother ) . Back story .. he was 72 , had late stage Parkinsonโs, went into the hospital because he couldnโt swallow or breath , diagnosed with double pneumonia, while there his test came back positive for covid . Neither my Aunt nor either of my two cousins have been tested and show no symptoms. Question .. did he die from Covid because I know he will be included in that stat .
Im very sorry to hear this. Thoughts for you and your family. It certainly sounds like he passed from the virus, but itโs hard to tell without a broad clinical picture.
