My question for all you smart data-oriented people is: why are we not considering the pandemic all but over? Particularly since the only study on asymptomatic cases has failed to prove transmissibility [0]? I know the results are "not generalizable" because of variable viral load, but you'd think we'd have better science available before implementing such draconian measures.
