“Died of lockdown” - choice word “of” and not “during”, completely ignoring the myriad confounding variables going on during this one year period (eg social media changes).
Regarding the lockdown comment, again I’ll write that things don’t exist in a vacuum- optimizing policy over a demographic with 23 deaths, at the expense of demographics with hundreds of thousands of deaths, is probably not a trade many politicians/public health officials/etc think is good.
But who knows, maybe guy-in-the-chat knows better. Should probably brush up on his basic stats first, though!.
