>>That lockdown report makes exactly the same kind of errors your earlier reasoning did (i.e. attribute costs to lockdowns, rather than the pandemic, and ignoring possible benefits);
The lockdown report teases apart the costs of lockdowns from those of the non-lockdown-related effects of the pandemic, and also looks at the benefit of lockdowns.
I don't think you're making a genuine effort to appraise it, making it pointless for me to engage in this.
- emn13 5y agoI listed specific weaknesses in the paper you haven't addressed, so if there's anybody here arguing in bad faith: look in the mirror. Additionally, note that it's trivial to google something like "lockdown effectiveness" in a private-mode window to escape your bubbel; and you'll see there are tons of papers arguing either case. Beyond it's technically poor analysis, it's also not representative of expert consensus; nor is the author an expert in the field, nor does he honestly portray expert opinion.

I'm not going to evaluate your claims more closely when I see very elementary mischaracterizations of the paper in your initial comments, showing you didn't make a genuine effort to appraise it.
- emn13 5y agoAh yes, all those mischaracterizations you haven't been able to point out. Got it.
