    It's now been 2 months since this paper on stay-at-home orders was published in @SciReports, so I thought I'd do a quick update https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1369078568844595200 …pic.twitter.com/FZF4F2NPMP

        After we put together a fairly detailed critique, @lonnibesancon, @RaphaelWimmer, @FLAHAULT and I preprinted the work online here https://osf.io/63efj/  At about the same time, the journal added an editor's note saying that the conclusions are subject to criticism

        In the two months since, the paper has hit an Altmetric score of 10,824. It's been in the news dozens of times, and has been read by 343,000 people Pretty huge impact!

        I think it's not unfair to say that this single paper has had quite a large impact on COVID-19 interventions worldwide, despite some fairly big issues (here's the conclusion of our letter)pic.twitter.com/WSaPAIADr6

        The fact that a paper can change worldwide policy even while scientists are debating whether the conclusions are meaningful in any way is an amazing indication of how unprepared science in general was for a global pandemic

        There simply isn't a strong global causality between lockdown stringency and Covid outcome, over a 12+ month window especially. It is at best a tertiary factor.https://ig.ft.com/coronavirus-lockdowns/ …

        "Global causality"? If you water down your impact by including data from regions where there hasn't even been much COVID to begin with, of course averaging will dillute data. Be careful when selecting data! Often, "global" is less meaningful than local statistics in hotspots.
