Rightwing sociopathic quacks like @BjornLomborg: are ALWAYS on the wrong side of things precautionary, (including climate).
Saying "no worse than the flu" was ignorant 3 months ago; saying it after data from the past few weeks is outright malfeasance.

I am struggling to understand the “no worse than the flu” crowd, when even with the most extreme lockdown in recent history, it is much worse. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/10/upshot/coronavirus-deaths-new-york-city.html …
Hope this helps: a similar argument from a different article, here Economist: "Perhaps, though, New York’s hospitals are overflowing because the virus is so contagious that it has crammed the equivalent of a year’s worth of flu cases into one week." https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2020/04/11/why-a-study-showing-that-covid-19-is-everywhere-is-good-news …pic.twitter.com/YKhAOvMJJD

Hi Bjorn, it’s been awhile, I hope you’re well. I wrote the story you link to. My full thoughts on this topic are in the linked thread. I strongly disagree with the claim that a lower-than-consensus IFR for covid-19 implies lockdowns are mistaken.https://twitter.com/DanRosenheck/status/1248655370257608704 …

Hey Dan — great thread. Totally agree with strong policies to reduce infection and protect vulnerable. Question is in degree of lock-down. Too little means too many dead, too much means longer lock-down and much greater economic loss.
