That's not what the article says, though. It merely says that lockdowns do have consequences too, particularly prolonged ones, and we should consider those too.

That's not what the article says, though. It merely says that lockdowns do have consequences too, particularly prolonged ones, and we should consider those too. But such discussion is largely impossible because the whole issue got framed as good vs. evil, and even just questioning some aspects of the lockdown (say, school closures) gets you labeled as someone who essentially wants to murder vulnerable people. FWIW I do live in a country which is in lockdown for ~2m now, and I do think it was the right thing to do. But it's not really feasible to stay in indefinite lockdown - not just because of economy, but because of impact on public health etc.
