"So, Covid is mostly harmless"

This^^^ is correct, for the vast majority.

But the WORLD decided in all of it's current wokeness that everyone and everything had to be shut down so not to hurt anyone's or groups[ethnicity, co-morbidities, age etc] feelings.[with the exception of China, of course]

Hindsight is 20/20, Trump should have told all of the woke-aristas to pound sand.

Elderly and those with certain co-morbids, lock it down.
