Yes, but meanwhile, we all have to suffer through this monotonous, one-sided hysteria that is endlessly foisted upon us.

I am of the opinion that lockdowns, while initially efficacious over the very short-term (i.e., to help prevent hospitals from being swamped until we could adequately prepare), are far more harmful than the virus over the long haul.

We have to live ... and life has never been without some risk. We have to provide for our families and those, around us, in need. So, let's gird our societal loins and forge ahead utilizing common sense to help limit the known risks, instead of shutting down out of fear. One shouldn't be afraid to confidently venture out of one's home ... because THAT isn't living ... but, at the same time, one should be sensible enough to realize ... at least, for example ... that it probably isn't a good risk for one to parade their lily white ass around certain parts of Minneapolis, right now.

Beldin:

Re: "how many deaths have been caused by the lockdowns "
Then you could also ask 'How many were SAVED by the lockdown?" Some questions have no answers.

My hunch is that the lockdown will prove to be a terrible thing. That's why I pulled my money out today. But I also think the virus will be terrible. It's too early to tell how terrible with either.
