    One thing I'm finding increasingly interesting is how many people will argue that lockdowns kill without citing any evidence at all that this is the case

        This isn't me saying that lockdowns are totally safe, but if they are as huge a public health problem as people claim this should be trivial to demonstrate

        As an example of this, many people will still assert that lockdowns are causing a huge wave of suicides, despite this not being the case in most places that have investigated the question

        Brilliant! Well thought out and well made. I’d still rather get it, quarantine at home and get on with things, than this though...

        And how many of those were attributable to lockdown vs the epidemic itself?

        No, they just want you to believe that it's "obvious" that lockdowns will cause death and harm from suicide, depression, substance abuse, etc. When asked about something else that's obvious, namely the Germ Theory of disease, all of a sudden it's "lockdowns don't work."

        If lockdowns caused mass deaths you would expect areas under lockdown without extensive COVID19 spread to experience excess mortality, that's not the case.
