    Health Nerd Retweeted Piers Morgan

    This is probably correct. Evidence from the International Monetary Fund shows that short, sharp, EARLY lockdowns were the most effective and least damaging economicallyhttps://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/1316109584243843072 …

    Health Nerd added,

    Piers MorganVerified account @piersmorgan
    1) We locked down too late in March. 2) We lifted lockdown too fast in the summer. 3) We're delaying lockdown too late again now. 4) We've never had a testing system that works well enough to avoid lockdowns. 5) That's the reality.

        What you say is what the field scientists involved with SARS 1 and MERS said Especially without a vaccine... protect health system capacity. I think it’s wonderful that rich countries are now giving scientists money they could have used years ago 🤔

        Wow it’s not often I agree with Piers Morgan. Things in the UK must be really bad if he’s talking sense!

        'Twas my reaction as well. Unfortunately, it's also a reminder that there are people who make less sense than Piers Morgan, with more impact.
