Should our future, if we have one, permit upcoming historians will make a huge mistake if they blame the catastrophic collapse of economies in 2020 directly on a flu-status virus.

Calm down! Everyone needs to remember that the COVID-19 alleged to be 290,000 deaths, even if genuine, wouldn’t raise a blip on a graph of worldwide mortality even if their total multiplies by several times.

Keeping a sense of proportion: Global fatalities: influenza, up to 650,000, typhoid fever, up to 160,000, cholera, up to 140,000. Then there is malaria that accounts for 620,000 deaths in 2017 alone and largely confined to Africa. In 2018 tuberculosis, developing treacherous antibiotic resistance and killed 1.5 million people. Why haven’t we closed down the whole world for this disease?

European and American economies are not in a tailspin because it can’t survive without the labour of the alleged number of fatalities, however much we may miss them as individuals. Remember, COVID-19 is a virus relegated to the same status as influenza. It is not a natural disaster but a manufactured one.

Evidence abounds that lockdowns have had a negligible effect on the arc of national infections. In fact, lockdowns and compulsory wearing of face masks provide the perfect opportunity for all viruses. Perhaps for this reason, a growing number of New York doctors want restrictions lifted.

Sadly for the lockdown dissidents, the bigger the political mistake, the greater the political urgency of defending it at all costs. The political classes to avoid public shaming and ‘experts’ keen to be publicly outed feel obliged to keep justifying the lockdown, which means continuing to exaggerate the contagion’s risk to life.

Typically, in Sunday’s address to the nation, the British prime minister repeated Professor Pantsdown’s ludicrous forecast of 500,000 fatalities. In fact, that modelling has been much discredited.  As a consequence, the British public is now doomed to act out an elaborate theatre of medical paranoia, because to relax social distancing is also to suggest that maybe much social distancing was dumb to begin with.

There is no real science behind this two-metre rule? Recent research suggests that COVID is surprisingly a hospital-acquired infection: spread in the healthcare settings of care homes and hospitals.

We’ve also learned that most infections result from the close-up, sustained exposure that we never get with strangers in supermarkets. Yet the two-metre rule that’s consigned us to half-mile queues for supermarket access will soon make everywhere else unbearable, too.

With narrow profit margins, restaurants can’t survive serving a fraction of their previous clientele. Half of all UK pubs are already kaput. The other half will soon go under if lone customers self-isolate over their drinks like sullen alcoholics.

Much manufacturing won’t function with employees so far apart. The arts are finished. Theatres with audiences a third their former size will close. Entertainment venues like The world-famous Royal Albert Hall is also staring bankruptcy in the face. Ridiculously, public toilets will have to be shut

In London, social distancing is expected to reduce Tube passenger numbers by 90 per cent. Yet five million people daily ride the Tube, or used to, so how are the other 4.5 million meant to get around? But forget buses, allowed to carry 15 per cent of their previous ridership.

Going into a sparsely populated lift, we may have to make a reservation on an app. Worst of all, lest some sector somewhere still struggles back to solvency, we’ll now order air passengers from abroad to quarantine for a solid fortnight straight off the plane.

Passengers must promise to quarantine themselves in a particular location. This manic policy comes with obvious enforcement problems. Quarantines will either be roundly ignored, or they’ll require extravagant police resources to keep rapping on doors to ensure some visiting Canadian didn’t nip out for a litre of milk.

What this policy is guaranteed to achieve is the total devastation of both the British tourist industry and all British airlines, especially since the business travel on which aviation depends will evaporate.

Predictably, few of the tedious, costly, time-consuming measures about to be levied on the British public in the coming months will be based on science. All will be obliged to make mantras compliance.
