The Lockdowns? They have been useless, if not harmful. Here are some German and different studies
A major new study by German scientists from the University of Munich found that the blockades had no effect on reducing the country's coronavirus infection rate.
"Statistics from the University of Munich have found" no direct connection "between the German lockdown and the decline in infection rates in the country," according to the Telegraph.
The study found that, on all three occasions before Germany imposed segregation in November, December and April, infection rates had already begun to decline.
The R rate – the number that indicates how many other people an infected person transmits the virus to – was already less than 1 before contact restrictions went into effect.
Last year, a leaked study from inside the German Interior Ministry revealed that the impact of the country's lockdown could end up killing more people than the coronavirus due to victims of other serious illnesses not receiving treatment.
This is by no means the only study to have concluded that lockouts are completely useless and don't work.
A peer-reviewed study published in January by Stanford researchers found that mandatory lockdowns no longer offer benefits for stopping the spread of COVID-19 than voluntary measures such as social distancing.
In March, Stanford medicine professor Dr Jay Bhattacharya told Newsweek that the COVID-19 blockades are "the only worst public health blunder of the past 100 years." The same researcher stated that there is no reason to apply lockdown measures to
Earlier this year, academics from Duke, Harvard, and Johns Hopkins concluded that there could be an estimated one million excess deaths over the next two decades due to the lockdown. If it were true it would have been a devastating mistake, or political choice.
Other research has concluded that the lockdowns and the anxiety this causes "will destroy at least seven times more years of human life" than it will spare.
