Is claiming Wuhan has herd immunity based on ... belief(?) now evidence based medicine? Seems not very evidence based at all.

Also, the spanish flu was one of the deadliest pandemics of all time, a death rate similar to that would be devastating.

Well I found some example what evidence based medicine means, here's some quotes from Johan Giesecke (our previous virus dude) about face masks and lockdowns:

"A few European countries have introduced requirements to wear face protection in public places to reduce the spread of the corona virus.

There is no scientific basis whatsoever for it to help, says infection protection expert Johan Giesecke.

TT: But if there is no evidence that it helps, why do countries encourage entire populations to wear face protection?

Every country in Europe is currently taking a lot of measures for which there is no scientific basis whatsoever. No wonder they come up with something else."

"Professor Johan Giesecke, blasted the sort of lockdowns imposed in Britain and Australia and warned a second wave would be inevitable once the measures are eased.

The Swedish government decided early in January that the measures we should take against the pandemic should be evidence based. And when you start looking around at the measures being taken by different countries, you find very few of them have a shred of evidence-base, he said.

Sweden is one of the few countries to do so in this way. The others are wrong. We take into account the scientific evidence. Norway and Denmark have a more political leadership that will show strength and implement measures, says Johan Giesecke."

So based on what Johan giesecke is saying, face masks don't work (The public in sweden has not been recommended to use face masks), lockdowns don't work as they will face a second wave when they start easing up restrictions and blasted the political leaders in Denmark and Norway for wanting to show strength. We shall see in a year who is right (he has said we should w8 1 year before comparing results).

"The others are wrong."

Well...that's settles it then!

Johan Giesecke is a fucking clown.
