> We should undertake immediate steps to evaluate the empirical basis of the current lockdowns. I think there's not enough data available to evaluate if these lockdowns are justified. Especially the cost of the lockdowns are hard to assess. We won't know until it's over. But even if the mortality rate is vastly over-estimated, it will be hard for a leader to justify that their country has twice the mortality rate as the neighbor country (even this rate is low, and even it a lockdown was avoided). Besides, most countries are imposing a lockdown anyway, so "do like everybody else" is a safe bet for our leaders. Plus, the population asks for it.
