There is no SECOND WAVE of Coronavirus, we are still in the first wave which a bunch of idiots didn’t allow to run its course, by locking everyone in their houses like a pack of fascist lunatics. The virus wasn’t going to magically disappear just because everyone cowered in their homes like terrified mice.
The whole point to the ORIGINAL plan we were sold was that we lock everything down for a couple of weeks and get all our health systems set up and ready. Then after two or three weeks we would release everyone in spurts back into the wild, so that the infection spread through the community in a slow, measured and controllable manner. After a couple of months everything would have phased back into normal and the wave would have run its course. This was the “Flatten the Curve” model which, as you can see from the below graph, means the same number of infections would still have occurred just over a longer period of time.

Instead a bunch of lunatics decided that “Total Elimination” was the goal, with no consultation with society at large and they pushed for harder and more extreme lockdowns until everything blew up, they lost total control, and now we are facing the ORIGINAL wave, in the same chaotic fashion we would have anyway, ON TOP of all the economic collapse and civil unrest.
We could have just stayed open and dealt with the virus chaos without the associated meltdown of society OR stuck to the original plan and done a limited lockdown with the intent to slowly infect the community. The “Flatten The Curve” they kept telling us about. Now we have allowed a bunch of pin heads turn a crisis into a catastrophe. The Swedish university system is obviously one of the last on the planet that still pumps out sensible people. There needs to be a serious reckoning for the political establishment, across the world, which has driven us off a cliff like this.
