Those places where public health precautions were ignored showed a higher incidence of infection, hospitalization and death.
In situations where much is unknown about a deadly disease, and no treatment options existed, it is best to advise caution so as to minimize death and serious illness.
As we have learned and developed effective treatments instead of snake oil stuff like hydroxychloroquine and invermectin, the death rates have come down; vaccines have reduced the rate of infections and serious illness. So Public Health guidelines now in the face of another surge aren't as restrictive as the onerous ones promulgated during the onset of the pandemic. This is a calculated and cautious approach intended to save as many lives as possible while adjusting to new data and knowledge gained from scientific evaluation. This is rational, and is not "lying."
With our new weapons to treat and cure infected hospitalized people, recommendations should be different today than a year ago, before vaccines and treatments like remdesivir, mono clonal antibodies, steroids. baricitinib. Medicine and healthcare advances, as we have come to expect, given the research that goes on every where. Just as with mechanical technology and other scientific advances.
Would anybody advise taking a shot at landing a craft full of people on Mars without careful engineering or using the knowledge we had in the 19th century of Jules Verne?
Most of those casting stones are fortunate not to have witnessed a friend or family member suffer from this disease...
So you're an expert now? I don't think so. You're a retired college campus cop or something... a simpleton breaking up keg parties and pantie raids. I'd like to explain the details, all the information, all the statistics that I have on this topic but you wouldn't understand.
The information and truth is out there if you know where to find it.
