It is interesting that these doctors in the UK are claiming that tactics that have already worked elsewhere don’t actually work, while their country continues to suffer a massive outbreak of the virus.
On the other hand, here is a study showing two countries that have made great strides in containing the virus, after massive waves and deaths, and did so with a harsh lockdown https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969720320520 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004896972...
- matz1 6y agoThat paper doesn't actually shows that its the lockdown that responsible for the decline. Its the classic correlation does not necessarily mean causation.
- TomSwirly 6y agoGood luck with the "doing nothing" strategy then?
- matz1 6y agoWho says doing nothing ? There are lot of thing that can be done : vaccine research, method of treatment improvement, promote hygiene, increase medical capacity (if needed), etc
- klyrs 6y ago> promote hygiene You mean like wearing masks? Because that's apparently a "political opinion" right now
- hatsunearu 6y agoThe mental gymnastics is incredible. The economy is going down the shitter no matter what. Might as well make it temporary instead of permanent (which is exactly what's gonna happen if "1%" of the entire world dies, and many more get severely injured due to COVID complications).
- ThomPete 6y agoNo it's not going to be permanent if 1% of the worlds population dies not sure where you are getting that idea from.
