Britain got it wrong on Covid: long lockdown did more harm than good, says scientist | Coronavirus

  1. I just love how the solution to all of the problems is more lockdowns that never worked in the first place. Like, 20th attempt is the charm. It’s going to work this time, boys!

  2. Title is misleading.

    The same scientist, in the same article, said:

    *Woolhouse is at pains to reject the ideas of those who advocated the complete opening up of society. (…)
    “This would have led to an epidemic far larger than the one we eventually experienced in 2020,” says Woolhouse.*

    Also, newspaper are irresponsible. **You can’t publish an article with the opinion of a single scientist.** You must ask different experts at minimum.

    Otherwise, you’re making people think what the newspaper wanted you to think.

    Then again, title is misleading. No lockdown without any previous preparation and much more testing and faster vaccination would have been truly a disaster.
