    Our new paper asks whether COVID-19 lockdowns are worse than epidemics of the disease itself The answer? Thus far, probably nothttps://gh.bmj.com/content/6/8/e006653 …

        I'd be keen, and I think @GYamey and everyone else would as well. The challenge is how much broader (and systematic) we'd have to be I think

        Uncontrolled epidemics also have severe economic harm.

        “We do not mean for the conclusion of this paper to be that lockdowns cannot cause any harm”, so lockdown is harmful for human beings (may be useful for nature).

        "It is unlikely that gov. interventions have been worse than the pandemic itself in most situations using data collected to date." So 16 months into the pandemic, we are not sure if experimental NPIs were beneficial? Credit given for an initial move towards a graceful exit.

        Interesting study. But to address causality study should have exogenous cause of lockdown, or have a statistical instrument for it. For example, perhaps the countries which expected lockdowns to have few bad effects and much benefits were the countries which imposed lockdowns.

        On the other hand, we should not forget that not all #lockdown(s) are equal... even considering "non health" effects! 🧐https://twitter.com/Capobianco2005C/status/1353707712220114944?s=20 …

        The #paradox is that the most ineffective, delayed, longer, wider, and harmful #lockdown(s) are caused by the "anti-lockdowners" and by those who do not allow to act properly and selectively with timely, shorter, smaller, and effective #lockdown(s)!🤔
