If you are asymptomatic you are not infectious or sick.

What are your medical credentials, re virology expertise, to claim you know more than the experts?

Lol. Call me a science denier and then link to a chiropractor website. Projection much?
If your body if producing viruses and you are breathing them out into the air, then you are infectious. Whether you have symptoms or not is irrelevant.

We're a democracy, they're politicians, they'll do whatever they think will get them out of being blamed for this at the next election.
Unfortunately, one part of the population will blame them for not doing enough and letting too many people die.
The other part will blame them for shutting down the economy and generating economic misery.
The number of voters who will think they did exactly the right thing will be zero.

1. We're going to ignore Belarus and Uruguay as well as most non-first world countries because their statistics aren't trustworthy

Yup. That's just a statement on my part that I'm not going to invest any time or energy in evaluating how far I can trust each and every countries numbers. I knew it would piss you off. Sorry.

Arbitrarily excluding a data point that contradicts my position would discredit me.
Arbitrarily excluding a data point that supports my position is just laziness.

Plus there's the whole science denial anti-vaxxer crew in the US, so whether we even get to herd immunity is still an open question... How many million people does disease X have to kill,
Serious holes have been poked in the world’s response to the pandemic, with Sweden emerging atop a telling list of nations least affected by Covid-19. As governments scrambled to make the idea of locking down regular life palatable throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, Sweden refused, opting for a “voluntary” approach to dealing with the spread. The nation of 10.4 million kept schools from closing throughout the biggest waves of the virus’ spread and did not mandate masks.

A Hollywood studio has instituted a mask mandate for its employees in light of the current COVID wave... The studio is also asking employees to conduct self-screening before coming to the office.
... the move comes amid some national buzz about whether mask mandates might be returning as variant EG.5 has become dominant in the United States.
Documents recently obtained from the National Institutes of Health suggest public health officials used inaccurate information and misrepresented medical research to advance their policy objective that masks prevent severe COVID-19 and virus transmission—despite opposing scientific evidence received from experts.
In a recently obtained letter (pdf) sent in November 2021 to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), top epidemiologist Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, and seven colleagues informed the agency it was promoting flawed data and excluding data that did not reinforce their narrative.

We disagree on some things, but you might be surprised on how much we DO agree on.
Your latest above, was a particularly nice piece. Thanks

According to AP, Lahaina residents who disobeyed government road barricades survived the fires, while many who heeded orders to turn around died in their cars and homes with no way out. Now, officials are facing public outrage over why the emergency sirens weren't set off and why they prevented people from fleeing to safety.
So - no siren, no water, and barricades.
