Curfew, lockdown and terrorist forecasts on reopening. The post of prof. Silvestri

Curfews and lockdowns are also useful because they allow politicians to blame citizens and stave off the nasty questions: How many ICU jobs have been created since March 2020? How many doctors and nurses hired or trained? How many people have been vaccinated?

DO YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING?

The study of the Kessler foundation: "With the reopening we risk 1300 deaths a day in mid-July" https://t.co/EjxXGfFRpE

The sense of déja vu in the face of this "news" is very clear (there are only 150,000 in intensive care by June 8).

As in 2020, according to certain forecasts, the seasonal factor does not exist.

So in July 2021 we will have a hundred times more deaths than in July 2020, when no one was vaccinated and everything was open. Boh.

Then in the United Kingdom there are 20 deaths a day with the lockdown over and a population at risk largely vaccinated … but evidently there is something profound that escapes us in how these "forecasts" are made (and then disseminated).

What does not escape is that curfews and lockdowns are also useful because they allow politicians to blame the citizens (who go out, meet, breathe …) and dismiss the unpleasant questions: how many ICU posts have been created since March 2020 to today?

How many doctors and nurses hired or trained?

How many investments in public health have been made?

Above all: how many people have been vaccinated?

Instead, thanks to this type of media conversation, citizens do not inveigh against political ineptitude but slaughter themselves between closurists and aperturists.

Maybe from their point of view, this stuff works well, but how sad, however, to read certain things on April 29, 2021.
