CFR is a tentative metric. IFR is finalized at the end of a pandemic, and it was always suspected it could be between 0.1% and 0.41%. The WHO estimated 750,000,000 have had the virus. Reexamine your numbers. You don't seem to understand that Fauci was made infamous for suggesting a 3.4% mortality rate. That opened the door for economic-minded people like Scott Atlas to ask for a reality check. It's incredible that you are taking the stance that the non-pharmaceutical interventions were not strict enough. Lockdowns were never a fully-vetted strategy since their interesting origins in 2006 under the Bush admin. They were likely to do untold harm because of this failing. Epidemiologists at large did not endorse any such policy. A UK official already admitted they went with the idea because they were in a panic. Consider this: you kind of sound like the dad that insists his daughter will never date because she will never be allowed to leave the house. You've outsmarted all those stupid and selfish teen boys. |

The politically-active neuroradiologist, whose main qualification appears to be that he says what the president wants to hear?

Lockdowns actually worked in China and in other countries, and those places have had far fewer deaths per capita [1] and are also now economically in far better shape. It's a hugely embarrassing situation for the US.
[1] even assuming their numbers are being massaged.
