End the lockdown. Now.

It was started on a premise based on bad data, and the more we learn, the more we understand that it was a bad idea.

Based on a broad array of scientific data, Just Facts has computed that the anxiety created by reactions to Covid-19—such as stay-at-home orders, business shutdowns, media exaggerations, and legitimate concerns about the virus—will destroy at least seven times more years of human life than can possibly be saved by lockdowns to control the spread of the disease. This figure is a bare minimum, and the actual one is likely more than 90 times greater.

The lockdown has been been framed as a matter of life or death.  That is a false premise.  It is a matter between death, and death.  We have to pick the best of two bad options.  Don't blame the people who want to work, blame the Chinese Communist Party for allowing the Beijing Bubbleguts out of a lab.
