Are Covid 19 Medical Pandemic/Infectious Disease Experts guilty of criminal negligence causing death?
To deal with the Covid 19 outbreak, most governments turned over the running of their countries to their medical system who mandated lock downs, quarantine, self-isolation, social distancing, generally breaking down the social nature of humanity.
OVERVIEW OF SELF-DESTRUCTIVE CONSEQUENCES OF HARSH COVID 19 STEPS
However, it became very clear very quickly that the destructive consequences of these restrictions far outweighed any benefit they might have afforded. Financial collapse akin to the Great Depression of 1929, a mental illness pandemic, and most damning is that the restrictions caused non Covid 19 unnecessary deaths through increased suicides and domestic violence, neglect of patients with terminal illnesses not related to Covid 19, and finally mass starvation in developing countries caused by the financial collapse of the transportation industry.
FINANCIAL COLLAPSE
"Today, politicians must make difficult choices, although with imperfect information. Measures needed to contain the virus, including self-isolation by workers and consumers, closure of factories and shops, and bans on sports and entertainment activities, all take their toll. Politicians are turning to public-health experts to help them in this crisis, exemplified by the appearance of Anthony Fauci at the side of US President Trump, or UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s being flanked by the UK Chief Medical Officer and Chief Scientific Advisor. In the UK at least, with a government whose ministers only recently proclaimed that the British people “have had enough of experts”15, this is quite a change.
"The problem is that the advice that these experts are giving poses an immediate threat to the economy. This matters. Economic decline itself has an adverse effect on health. A reduction in economic activity reduces the circulation of money and, with it, tax revenues. This reduces the finances available for the public-health countermeasures needed to control the pandemic. It also hits individuals and families, who may see their income plummet catastrophically. Once they have depleted their financial reserves, companies close, with consequences for their owners, employees, and suppliers."

"This note discusses the consequences of the COVID-19 crisis on financing for sustainable development in low- and middle-income countries eligible for official development assistance (ODA). Levels and trends in domestic and external financing already fell short of the SDG spending needs prior to the COVID-19 crisis. The current global context, however, risks a significant reduction in the financing available to developing economies. In sum, external private finance inflows to developing economies could drop by USD 700 billion in 2020 compared to 2019 levels, exceeding the immediate impact of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis by 60%. This exacerbates the risk of major development setbacks that would, in turn, increase our vulnerability to future pandemics, climate change and other global public bads."
MENTAL HEALTH PANDEMIC
"Social isolation, anxiety, fear of contagion, uncertainty, chronic stress and economic difficulties may lead to the development or exacerbation of depressive, anxiety, substance use and other psychiatric disorders in vulnerable populations including individuals with pre-existing psychiatric disorders and people who reside in high COVID-19 prevalence areas."

INCREASED SUICIDE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
"It’s thought cases have increased by 20% during the lockdown, as many people are trapped at home with their abuser. "

“Sadly, I think there is a good chance we could see twice as many
suicides over the next 24 months than we saw during the early part of
the last recession,” Reeves told Reuters.

INCREASED DEATHS CAUSED BY OVER ZEALOUS COVID 19 RESTRICTIONS
Terminal and other serious Illnesses
"Since a national lockdown was introduced across the UK in March, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, cancer screening has been suspended, routine diagnostic work deferred, and only urgent symptomatic cases prioritised for diagnostic intervention. In this study, we estimated the impact of delays in diagnosis on cancer survival outcomes in four major tumour types."

Removal of cancerous tumours was considered "Elective Surgery" by Covid 19 medical experts.
"The 60-year-old Etobicoke woman is one of more than 52,000 Ontarians whose surgeries and procedures were cancelled or delayed to free up space for potential COVID-19 patients, according to the Financial Accountability Office of Ontario.
"Elective surgeries effectively came to a halt after March 15."
"Maria Kefalas considers her husband, Patrick Carr, a forgotten victim of the coronavirus.
In January, Mr. Carr, a sociology professor at Rutgers University, suffered a relapse of the blood cancer that he has had for eight years. Once again, he required chemotherapy to try to bring the disease, multiple myeloma, under control.
But this time, as the coronavirus began raging through Philadelphia, blood supplies were rationed and he couldn’t get enough of the transfusions needed to alleviate his anemia and allow chemo to begin. Clinic visits were canceled even as his condition worsened."

"Early on, many nations were keen to reassure the public about the ways Covid-19 was being prioritised – beds and ventilators were ringfenced, unproven treatments were stockpiled and doctors were re-assigned to respiratory wards in their thousands. In the UK, the government pledged to provide everything the health service needed to cope with the pandemic, “whatever it costs”.
"Similar steps were taken in countries around the world as they fought to tackle the rising infection rates. Anything considered non-urgent was delayed or cut back, from certain surgeries to sexual health services, stop smoking programmes, mental health support, dentistry, vaccinations, cancer screenings, and routine check-ups.
Experts fear that deaths from illnesses such as cholera could far exceed those from Covid-19 itself

Starvation caused by Covid 19 Restrictions
"Disruption to food production and supplies due to COVID-19 could cause more deaths from starvation than the disease itself, according to an Oxfam report published Thursday.
The report found that 121 million more people could be “pushed to the brink of starvation this year” as a result of disruption to food production and supplies, diminishing aid as well as mass unemployment. The report estimates that COVID-19 related hunger could cause 12,000 deaths per day: the peak global mortality rate for COVID-19 in April was 10,000 deaths per day."

SWEDEN'S SOFT, "COMMON SENSE" APPROACH TO COVID 19
In addition, there was the evidence of Sweden, with one of the world's best health systems not following the harsh approach, but using a softer and more humane approach to Covid 19. Sweden has fared no worse than countries who employed the ill thought out drastic measures called for by much of the world's medical pandemic and infectious disease experts.

FALLING MORTALITY RATE OF COVID 19 AND SYMPTOM RESISTANCE AMONG MOST PATIENTS
99% of individuals testing positive for Covid 19 have mild or no symptoms.
Finally, the mortality rate for Covid 19 is now estimated somewhere between 2% and .28%
“For comparison, the case fatality rate for SARS was 10%, and for MERS 34%.”

Despite all of this evidence that the restrictions were, in effect, causing unnecessary deaths, the Medical Pandemic and Infectious Disease experts still advocated their harsh approach to Covid 19 containment. I am a not a legal expert, but this disregard for the safety of others seem to me to be criminal.
"It is possible, however, to commit a
criminal homicide based on wanton or reckless behavior. In other words,
if someone acts with such disregard for the safety of others that death
or serious injury is almost a given, this is often enough for certain
types of criminal charges."

I am waiting for the criminal prosecutions to begin. However, I will not hold my breath.
