Includes bibliographical references (pages 137-159). How dangerous is the new "killer" virus? -- Corona-situation in Germany -- Too much? Too little? What happened? -- Collateral damage -- Did other countries fare better- Sweden as a role model? -- Is vaccination the universal remedy? -- Failure of the public media -- Quo vadis? "No other topic dominates our attention as much as coronavirus and COVID-19, the infectious disease it triggers. There's been a global deluge of contradictory opinions, fake news, and politically controlled information. Differing views on the dangers posed by the pandemic have led to deep division and confusion, within governments, society, and even among friends and family. In Corona, False Alarm?, award-winning researchers Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi and Dr. Karina Reiss give clarity to these confusing and stressful times. They offer analysis of whether radical protective measures--including lockdown, social distancing, and mandatory masking--have been justified, and what the ramifications have been for society, the economy, and public health"--Back cover.
