Pft. You with your 'the sum total of the evidence doesn't support...' and your 'that question is either unknown or unknowable' malarkey. Same old even-handed carefully considered BS. Shill for Big Evidence IMO.

I often find myself asking people what damage they think would be done to their mental health if they lived in a society that ignored pandemics and left the weakest to fend for themselves. The ramifications are awful.

It's not "merely" that, in arguing we should ignore a pandemic, we'd be arguing for a society of socio-paths but that, further, we'd whittling away the survival advantage that fearing death and illness give us. Just ask the Dodo bird how well that worked.

Another thing: Why do people have to claim either that "lockdowns" work or they don't when the answer may be highly dependent on environment & other factors (e.g. timing, demographics, duration, presence of other interventions, etc...)? Even the best scientists can ignore that.

It always bugged me those that talk about the increase in depression due to a lockdown don't think that there is likely an increase due getting really sick or family members dying

We all know that
#lockdowns are harmful... but this is exactly the reason why they should be used in the best possible way when other measures are not effective or not feasible!

I’d glad somebody has written this as the repeated conflation of lockdown effects and the effects of Covid cases themselves on healthcare provision was driving me to distraction.

Yes. COVID has been much more deadly to younger age groups in the US than commonly publicized. Virtually all of the excess deaths in the US in 2020 were the result of "natural causes" - i.e. not suicides, overdoses, accidents, or murders.
