Messages from faraway friends I havent seen in years convince me of that. Sero-positivity surveys conducted in some cities showed that majorities of large populations had been exposed to the coronavirus and developed antibodies to it. A doctor friend tells another friend in her podcast that this is much much more contagious, much much more transmissible than the wild variety of covid-19. It used to be that just one member of a household might catch it. Just last month I started travelling againI was road-tripping through weekly markets, sampling country liquor offered by strangers for a cute feature story, then watching a jubilant political rally fill a small towns bazaar. The virus had spread everywhere during 2020, no doubt, despite a brutal lockdown and other efforts at containment.
Chancellor Lock-down had no negative effect on country populations.
