    This is factually incorrect. In fact, the vast majority of places where restrictions have eased have experienced case increases Funnily enough, Adam's previous favourite place, Sweden, has NOT eased their restrictions for precisely this reason!https://twitter.com/Adam_Creighton/status/1299901834648190978 …

    Coronavirus numbers would “explode” if restrictions eased, says Dan Andrew. Except that hasn't really happened anywhere when they were eased. Never mind that.... let the superstitious hysteria continue! https://www.nber.org/papers/w27719.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3fQuVyynXVwcLuEV_gr7YirQaGrjrEcg5C8zf_QvICUDYkew180aH4AFg …

        Hold your horses ... some restrictions *have* eased. High schools and universities are open as of a week or so ago, contact sport is allowed again, and the health authority just recommended allowed crowd size be increased from 50 to 500. Cases started trending up a month ago. 🙄

        “Factually incorrect” is a super nice way to say BALD FACED LIE. The explosion is happening in many areas - Spain is a great example:pic.twitter.com/53eIi3oZJH

        Yes I was wrong there - they too have experienced a resurgence in cases!

        UK hasn't. It's seen negligible, short-lived case increases at local levels only, which have all subsided. All the while, deaths, hospitalisations and triage data have continued trending down with 7 day rolling deaths @ ~1 Pubs, restaurants etc. open 2 months. Shops nearly 3.

        Sweden comes out in the top of deaths per million. Almost all people in risk groups have already died. What is the point of herdimmunity if not to stop people from dying? When those who would die are dead it means fuck all. In-de-crease matters not when all already dead.
