Frequently-Asked Questions

Does Bangladesh prove that Virus-Avoidance Strategies are a failure?

Bangladesh has too many people living in poverty to enact any type of Shutdown, and thus Lockdowns are meaningless - people will go out to do what they need to do to survive no matter what.

And, in a country of 161 million living in a space the size of the US state of Illinois, there is no such thing as Social Distancing.

What happened in Bangladesh is that at the inital onset of Covid-19, the same dynamics of viral interaction that have protected all animals for at least 300 million years played out, with deadliness of the virus plummeting almost immediately:

Bangladesh Deaths Per Case

And so now, what has happened is that Bangladesh has cases like any other country:

Bangladesh Cases Per Day

But those cases are not resulting in a substantial rise in deaths, with only as many as 264 per day on as many as 16,230 daily cases, for a total of 26,880 deaths, or 11 per 100,000 of their population:

Bangladesh Deaths Per Day

Compare that to the United States, with 4% of the world's population and over 25% of the world's deaths, where as many as 5,369 have died per day on as many as 1,231,770 daily cases, for a total of 1,074,502 deaths, or 97.6 per 100,000 of their population:

United States Deaths Per Day

The data shows the results of different countries with different policies.

And that data shows that the best strategy for airborne disease is the same approach that allowed us to continue to survive to this day over millions of years of 'clinical trials' - normal animal population behavior.

To think that we've become something different than the animals we've always been after all this time, is a deadly mistake.
