Having read the Lancet study there I feel like questions (that aren't this guy's questions to answer) have to be asked about why we continue to persist with lockdown measures. Like what is the purpose of them?
I was under the impression that the main reason was stop the NHS going under and being unable to cope with the sheer numbers of extreme cases of covid.
That seems to have shifted though, and these studies talk more about 'containing' covid as an illness, rather than the more serious effects of it.
It seems like the debate is much, much larger than the scope of these models. In my eyes, lockdowns were totally necessary because they stopped everything from completely going to shit, the NHS breaking down, leading to more and more deaths not only from Covid, but from everything else. For this reason we had to take the most extreme measures possible as a society.
I didn't read anything in that Lancet paper that suggests we are even remotely in that situation right now.
