Urgent need to rethink the strategy on how we deal with Covid
Instead of lockdown and quarantining the healthy - I propose we protect the vulnerable and allow all others to return to normal life. Open all businesses and social/ civic activities. The young and healthy are at minimal risk from harm caused by Covid & the more exposed to it the quicker we can achieve herd immunity- thus protecting those with compromising health conditions and the elderly. Those who are fearful
Can choose to continue isolating . Treat us like adults who can make informed decisions

Why the contribution is important
Collateral damage from current Covid authoritarian measures is now harming society more than the Covid virus and is totally disproportionate to the actual risk of harm from it
Those most at risk of serious harm and death can be protected, while the vast majority will be asymptomatic or suffer no worse than a flu. As it is now people are suffering from significant mental health issues as a direct result of draconian Covid restrictions & the disintegration of society. Job losses & economy failure has already and will continue to impact on health & welfare more than covid - other health conditions are being neglected, to extent that ppl are suffering and dying unnecessarily. Covid cannot be prioritised above all else. This is the first time in history whole nations have been quarantined instead of the sick. Governments have somehow been sucked into a blinkered and rigid perspective of how best to deal with this human crisis. They need to now listen to dissenting voices from eminent scientists, immunologists, virologists, Nurses Doctors and to their own citizens.

Other fatal illnesses matter, the economy matters and your actions are negating this. Shame on you.
