I don't like hypotheticals, especially when testifying as an expert. It is the old "if elephants had wings" issue. However I do wonder what would have happened if in the pandemic we did just nothing. Just tell people the risks and then it rip. No masks, no vaccines, no isolation. Let each individual make their own choice.
So much of what was done was based upon pure abject speculation and Government ignorance. We now know that mutations were frequent and ongoing, masks may or may not work since we still have no idea as to the spread mechanism, vaccines neither prevent catching the disease nor prevent spreading. Weak folks get culled while children are almost held harmless.
I doubt this will ever be examined since it destroys the Government control deemed critical.
