1/n It is our view with @LDjaparidze that lockdowns cause harm in subtle way. They do stop the virus, mind you, but when it eventually circulates again (and until vaccination it always does) vulnerable willpower to isolate is gone.
2/n Death minimizing is about virus circulation among healthy <60 while vulnerable *are still willing* to isolate at high levels. That is exactly what didn't happen in Argentina after the 5th month of lockdown.
3/n Oblivious to most (even the expert epidemiologists) after lockdowns death minimizing requires overshooting healthy <60 infections while vulnerable isolate at very high levels. None of that is happening.
4/n To add fuel to the fire, everybody was happy to know in later papers that asymptomatic are hardly contagious. Asymptomatic non being contagious requires even lower isolations (negative) to healthy <60 to death minimizing. While HIT remains at 70%. Mind blowing. I know.
5/n Either if you are on one side or the other, pick your fights with knowledge, because every single mistake increases the deaths and we have made lots of them since this started on December 2019.
