The latest Office for National Statistics data show that deaths in England and Wales are now slightly below the five-year average.
The virus seems to be in decline everywhere and it is now clear that thankfully Covid-19 has not been nearly as lethal an epidemic as many infections in the past, which did not stop the world economy. 600,000 are said to have died with (not of) Covid-19 worldwide so far, though this figure is probably very inaccurate, as compared to 1.1 million for the Asian flu of 1957-58 and 1 million for the Hong Kong flu of 1968.
At least half of the people killed with, but in many or most cases not by, Covid-19 were over 80. Very few people under 50 have died.

Will people understand the lockdown and mass panic was a disastrous and tragic mistake?
If so, it will be very bad news for the American media and establishment, which is using the pandemic to prevent Donald Trump being re-elected? If not, this disaster will be repeated for future pandemics, with consequences too terrible to think about.
