Interesting insights into the closed-minded thinking of Ontario Science Table (OST) members, via @DFisman.

In response even @DFisman admits that lockdowns are ineffective and have done significant damage to the economy, all without preventing people from needing the ICU.
Here @DFisman compares our current situation to the Spanish flu.
(Side note: no data suggesting that ICUs are/were under more pressure than in a normal year.)

The story begins in 1932 - a time when there was no known treatment for syphilis. In Macon County, Alabama, 600 black American men were enrolled in a project that sought to record the natural history of syphilis and the full progression of the disease.
The study began with 600 black men – 399 with syphilis, 201 without. The men were mostly sharecroppers and many had never before visited a doctor.
