[FRIAM] lockdowns

[Prof David West]

the AP published a study that seems to demonstrate lock downs had no effect on Corona spread. South Dakota and Connecticut (small states) had very similar outcomes despite widely variant degree of lock down. So too Florida and California, the latter draconian while the former laissez-faire.

Of course all the usual caveats applicable to such studies apply.

I wonder if any country/state would dare to do an honest cost-benefit study?
