As reported by the London Express Aug 25, Professor M. Woodhouse of the U of Edinburgh, the UK lockdown was a Monumental Mistake and must not happen again! The action was taken in a moment of panic as a temporary measure that has done more harm to the population than can be attributed to COVID19.
In the Bahamas, the odds of dying from COVID19 (complicated by heart disease, diabetes, etc, etc) is 1 in 28,000. The odds of dying as a result of prolonged lockdown is much higher!
14 deaths/393,000 population is a COVID19 death rate of 0.0036%. That is comforting. Even that rate is misleading because many of these deaths involved people with other problems other than COVID19. The covid19 only death rate is probably lower.
I wonder if 100% of the population was tested that we may find that a very large percentage of the population has or HAS HAD the infection. Thus the rate of infection may be related to the rate of testing. Actually the weekly death rate is much more revealing about the severity of the pandemic.
