Save Yourself: Stop Believing in the Lockdown

coronavirus 

A powerful essay in the American Institute for Economic Research asks the question: Is the lockdown the best way to minimize casualties in this pandemic?

Using historical examples beginning with Volataire’s words, “those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities,” the author reasons that lockdowns are not going to save the world from COVID-19, if for no other reason than every time the lockdowns are eased, infections go up.

There are other myths, mostly scare tactics, that people are willingly believing that need to be stopped now, too, the author asserts — and it’s time to start questioning what is credulous and what is not.
