      A few people have asked me to do this, and I always like to be consistent The Great Barrington Declaration is unscientific nonsense. What about the John Snow Memorandum (JSM) Some peer-review on twitter 1/nhttps://twitter.com/1st_sealord/status/1343901657856430089 …

      Mr Meyerowitz-Katz, you seem to do a lot of peer reviewing of Covid-related research papers and frequently picking on the Great Barrington declaration. Would you consider reviewing also the Jon Snow equivalent with the same critical eye?

      2/n The JSM is here, please do have a look and read if you are interested: https://www.johnsnowmemo.com/  Full disclosure: I agree with the sentiment, but I rarely sign petitions and did not do so with the JSM

      4/n ...except for Japan! JSM was published in October - it appears that their strategy has since become less effective

      What happened in Japan is that the “restart the economy” folks goaded the government into prematurely launching a massive subsidized domestic travel campaign called “GoTo”, with predictable dire results.

          I was going to ask if it was a lack of adherence to the strict isolation policy. It appears the ‘strict isolation policy’ was the thing that changed.

          I've now got another reason from the anti lockdown brigade overseas as to why you can't use Melbourne as an example to compare with: it isn't big enough.

          Add to "It was summer (no it wasn't) and "Population density in Australia is low" (most of us live in cities), "It's an island" (Yes, so is Britain, and not sure how that is relevant to controlling local transmission anyway).
