        this is just a review of short term effects. Long term effect of undetected diseases, weight gain, poverty and mental health issues, social isolation will not show in 1 year. ridiculous really

        And what about the long term effects on the economy, healthcare, undetected disease, health burden of long covid etc of not having any NPI restrictions? I’d challenge the long term results would be far far worse for a country like ours that can support vast majority through

        Analysis confined to 2020. Anticipatory triage has longer-term effects, thus increased mortality in Australia & NZ in 2021. Likewise, economic destruction and school closures have long-term effects. We would suggest revisiting this 12 months from now.

        Or 12 years from now..NIH study from 2009 showed every kid that doesn't graduate high school in USA is 93% more likely to suffer a preventable death.

        Surely if the argument is only 'probably' then status quo wins. You dont have surgery if it probably wont make you worse, you need to be a little more certainty than that.
