The problems of today could be solved by doing what the government did in the past- NOTHING.

Yeah. That's how you end up with the number of dead people we had during the Spanish Flu - more than WWI which is ran concurrent to.

The simple fact of the matter is just too unconspiratorial for most people on this forum. A previously unknown corona virus with a mortality rate which appears from the available data to be between 5 and 14% for which we have neither a proven treatment nor a vaccine means if we don't want to risk millions and millions dead, we need to enact the 1,000 year old effective technique of social distancing and we need to do that until we have some real evidence that we've achieved some sort of herd immunity (which acts in the same way as social distancing) or it is not as deadly as was feared.

All governments did the same thing not because of some conspiracy, but because it was the prudent and responsible thing to do.

There is no evidence to support your assertion of a 5 to 14% mortality rate.

Current mortality rate is not out of bounds with a bad flu season.

The amount of fear and hysteria is certainly unprecedented.
