But not plenty positive ones. And not plenty sufficient big ones.

> in a way that it was always clear from the beginning

It was clear from the beginning, that the IFR is around 0.1 and 0.2 %, with a much higher rate for old men. So an appropriate reaction was for sure not the hysteric, fascist way.

> totally NEW UnKNOWN airborne virus

This is bullshit. The virus is from a well known family, and has just some new sequences on some of its proteins. Cross-immunity in many people was near sure. And at least the cleavage site of the S protein has a sequence patented (in 2016 by Moderna), so I guess it was not really unknown, either.

My opinions are less religious than that of most other people. Did you really dare to answer to one of the comments to your comment with a link to a press release of the MPI, instead of a peer reviewed article?

And an addition to your remark of 'not new': not sure if you nitpick or try to counter my point but you think that COVID as it is was nothing new? Nothing unknown and we should just have let it rip through the planet?

At least I don't know any other virus everyone got I know we're a few people had strong bad reactions and lasting issues for longer than a month.

Besides that, totally overrun hospitals with an highly contagious 'new' virus (including the risk you have with something normal while the hospitals were busy)

Humanity exists a little bit longer than you. But this kind of hubris is typical.

In Germany there were no overrun hospitals.

'Nuff said.

Scroll down this page to the time series graphics:

And now tell me where the full ICUs are [edit: and notice the 'big' amount of COVID19 patients].

And furthermore, notice the diminishing amount of total ICUs during this 'pandemic'.

Soooo you are what in your daily life?

Why have you not been part of the pandemic expert group?

I'm happy to get primary sources from you which you will easily be able to produce.
