I don't at all doubt that lockdown has had a number of second order problems (and benefits too), but the the figures I quoted at the end were excess all cause mortality, so those are all already included. And indeed, many countries with net 0 excess all cause mortality certainly had corona virus deaths, but lockdown and related benefits appear to have saved more people than the virus killed in those countries.
- ynfnehf 6y agoI think most people who are worried about secondary effects from lockdowns don't think that these will be visible immediately during the pandemic. But rather as a higher baseline of mortality in the coming years. This is just my guess. I'm not an epidemiologist, so I have no real expertise in how these effects usually manifest themselves in the statistics.
