This is actively dangerous misinformation.

In places where the pandemic is not under control, there have been vast numbers of excess deaths: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/21/world/coronav...

We are still far from the peak in most parts of the world.

New York City has a population about 8 million, with 24,000 [1] excess deaths and an antibody positive rate of about 20% [2]. Do you really think it would be acceptable to let another 50,000 people in New York die (0.6% of the population) to reach herd immunity?

Lots of downvotes on my comment. A somewhat hilarious denial of what is plainly visible. Did you people even read the linked summary? The economy was hijacked for a complete non-threat, driven by increasingly discredited studies, "experts" speaking in apocalyptic terms, and a media looking for crisis.

So, a conspiracy? I bet hundreds of people met in secret at least once in the past few months, and decided it would have been really lucrative to stage this farce. Well played! And nobody will ever know.

Sarcasm or jokes apart... Who, tell me who would have had the power and the drive to set this up?

There have multiple conspiracies with covid-19:

- coverup at Wuhan Corona Lab in Dec. and disappearance of local doctors

- coverup of US government funding and oversight of that lab

- California has had flat hospital stats for 3 months, yet we're still lockdown because Gavin Newsom wants to be President
