The PCR tests were badly calibrated and used >=30 cycle counts (even 40 to 60 in UK). It gives 99% false positives.

I remember a Kiwi testing positive for Covid.

Early reports showed that the virus was not very dangerous at all. South Korea reported a death-rate similar to flu. A cruise boat (with lots of old people) reported only a few deaths. But the alarm was raised when deaths came in a few hospitals where very old people were treated (like in Italy Bergamot). They likely followed the WHO protocols. So they stopped using antibiotics and used ventilators.

I'm glad you're one of the few people who remember this conversation in March of 2020. Germany had no issues while Italy was flooded, and mortality was sky-rocketing. I think it was the result of culture. Germans were being orderly and waiting to get treatments when it became necessary, and Italians were panicking and filling the hospitals, queue the blown-out lungs and "pink bubbles in the corners of their mouth" from "covid" (actually respirators).

Viruses spread very rapidly and were likely in every country within a week.

I felt like I was going crazy trying to explain the obvious to people. Even my friends came to me and said, "How will any of this stop the spread of Covid?". I had to explain to them, "It won't. By forcing everyone to go to Wal-mart and intentionally creating choke-points, they're not preventing it, they're guaranteeing they can track patient zero for the county."

The lockdowns should have ended after about two weeks, because they would have found cases in every single state, and in every single county in every single state.

Even in 2022, people were telling me we had to have 'vaccines' to "stop covid". They struggled to accept that this was the fastest spreading virus in all of human history, and has crossed the species barrier nearly a dozen times. "Every single human being alive today will get Covid. Even South American tribal people isolated from civilization. This is not a question. No mechanism can prevent that."

"Well, we have vaccines to stop that kind of barbarous policy."

?????

It was like watching every single person forget every single thing they'd ever learned about medicine ever.
