A few weeks ago, a group of over 600 doctors in the United States co-signed a letter sent to President Trump in order to get him to put an end to general lockdown measures.

Several days ago, The Wall Street Journal published a piece entitled “The Covid Age Penalty: New patient data offers a guide to opening while protecting seniors.”

The academic journal Nature recently published two papers on the effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) on COVID-19.

In a recent study, we mentioned that even the World Health Organization (WHO) had been strongly arguing against lockdowns for flu pandemics as recently as October 2019.

Tuesday, The Guardian profiled Hong Kong, which never locked down, yet only has four COVID-19 deaths out of a nearly Quebec-sized population.

Yesterday, Bloomberg reported new data from Oxford University researchers who analyzed the severity of lockdown measures in place in European countries.

In a paper released in late April, researchers estimate that simply wearing masks is potentially much more impactful than even indefinite economic lockdowns.

The author of the main study justifying worldwide Covid lockdowns, dubbed “Dr. Lockdown” in the media, has a history of dramatically overestimating deaths.

Earlier this week, the Institute for Liberal Studies (ILS) hosted a talk by Dr. Stephen Davies, Head of Education at the Institute for Economic Affairs, on what to expect in a post-pandemic world.
