“Lockdowns” ended more lives than they saved.
“
Now that the 2020 figures have been properly tallied, there is still no convincing evidence that strict lockdowns reduced the death toll from COVID-19. But one effect is clear: more deaths from other causes, especially among the young and middle-aged, minorities and the less affluent.
The best gauge of the pandemic’s impact is what statisticians call excess mortality, which compares the overall number of deaths with the total in previous years. That measure rose among older Americans because of COVID-19, but it rose at an even sharper rate among people aged 15 to 54, and most of those excess deaths weren’t attributed to the virus.”
“
Other researchers, noting how educational levels affect income and life expectancy, have projected that the “learning loss” from school closures will ultimately cost this generation of students more years of life than have been lost by all the victims of the coronavirus.
The lockdowns may also have saved some lives, but there’s still no good evidence. When the 50 states are ranked according to the stringency of their lockdown restrictions, you can see one obvious pattern: The more restrictive the state, the higher the unemployment rate. But there is no pattern in the rate of COVID-19 mortality.
More than two dozen studies have challenged the effectiveness of lockdowns, showing that closing businesses and schools does little or nothing to reduce infections and deaths from the virus.”

An opinion article without any actual data to back up the author's assertions about data...
So you didn’t read it? Or are you not familiar with current events?
I read it and didn't see any hard data supporting the title anywhere in it, but that isn't surprising for an opinion piece.

That chart is misleading BS. The top 1% have a significant portion of their wealth invested, either in the market or in private investments. The S&P gained over 50% since last March anyone invested saw a gain. That headline is for shock value.
I interpret it as going a little deeper than that.
For the top 1%, along with most people who had money in the stock market, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity to double your money in almost no time. These people also haven’t had their lives impacted like your run of the mill “Joe Six-Pack”. Private schools, vacation homes, not missing a paycheck, etc.
My point in posting it when and where I did was to sort of editorialize that not only were the lockdowns NOT useful, they probably caused more harm than good overall, while further increasing the divide between the haves and the have-nots in this country. Unfortunately, anyone really depending on a $1400 stimmy has gotten the short end of the stick throughout this whole ordeal.

I agree, rather than give people $1,500-$1,900 1-3 times over the course of 12+ months of lockdowns, which isn't even a drop in the bucket, they should have reopened avoiding the need for "stimulus" and also avoiding additional debt. Someone is going to pay for those Trillions and it will be the next several generations.

“Sacerdote is careful to emphasize that he does not think journalists usually report falsehoods. The issue is which facts they emphasize. Still, the new study — which the National Bureau of Economic Research has published as a working paper, titled, “Why is all Covid-19 news bad news?” — calls for some self-reflection from those of us in the media.”
