"In the Asian Flu of 1957-58, They Rejected Lockdowns"
Good article comparing the radically different approach taken to the asian flu than covid, even though the Asian flu was significantly more deadly.
"Newspapers barely covered it and most people did not notice it."
"The refusal to disrupt society and constrain freedom in the presence of a pathogen was an achievement of modern ideas of public health."
@pete This is an interesting article, thank you for sharing. Herd immunity from a mathematical standpoint makes sense.
The reason for the lockdowns and to slow the spread is purely logistic. All sailors sick at the same time, ship sinks.
