Interesting study coming out suggesting full lockdowns offer no benefit over softer measures.

Great they released the code! It is worth a deeper dig as the journal is fairly vague about the data used. I've stuck the source code on my GitHub here: github.com/dr-harper/NPI-… 2/

It might sound fair to accuse me of bias, with the only reason that I question this study because it challenges my view of lockdowns.

I have seen papers suggest lockdowns don't have a big impact, but this seems to suggest they have a negative impact? What is going on Image
