If you prefer to hear the same in a different voice: Beda M Stadler is the former director of the Institute for Immunology at the University of Bern. https://medium.com/@vernunftundrichtigkeit/coronavirus-why-everyone-was-wrong-fce6db5ba809 The virus is gone for now. It will probably come back in winter, but it won’t be a second wave, but just a cold. Those young and healthy people who currently walk around with a mask on their faces would be better off wearing a helmet instead, because the risk of something falling on their head is greater than that of getting a serious case of Covid-19. |
From the link: "So: Sars-Cov-2 isn’t all that new, but merely a seasonal cold virus that mutated and disappears in summer, as all cold viruses do — which is what we’re observing globally right now."
OK, that is plain wrong. Take a look at the data:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
As you can see, summer made no difference at all. That statement is already in the beginning of the text. If the author cannot fact-check such a simple and clear statement before writing it down, he already loses a lot of trust from my side. Does he state more things as fact, which are just untrue?
