If you think the data they are presenting is ridiculous, you should examine the raw case information: specifically, what it's like going to the doctor when you have COVID. I know two people who've been diagnosed. Neither of them got a firm understanding from their own doctors about what even the common symptoms were besides being basically bed-ridden with a cold/flu like symptoms for a few days.
My conclusion from very early on is that we will all be exposed and there's not shit you can do about it so focus on promoting public health and preparing to deal with it.
As soon as I heard that the disease was in Washington state in December, I knew that every lockdown and quarantine was utterly useless. You had a highly transmissible virus that showed almost no symptoms for 2 weeks in a country with total freedom of movement and no containment actions for 3 months.
You'd have better luck capturing your own fart in the wind.
