More arguments against heavy handed lockdowns 20201113

A few more authorities coming out against the economy decimating, freedom destroying, and overall ill conceived lockdown policies, which we think is important to be aired given the so called 'fact check' censorship which are preventing these much needed debate from reaching the population at large.

1) The 2020 Cambridge Freshfields Lecture entitled "Government by decree - Covid-19 and the Constitution" was delivered by former Supreme Court judge Lord Sumption on 27 October 2020.

Covid measures will be seen as 'monument of collective hysteria and folly' says ex-judge

2) John Lee, former clinical professor of pathology at Hull York Medical School and consultant histopathologist at Rotherham General Hospital dismisses the lockdown policies in debate:

Amazing Debate on Lockdown Ideology versus Scientific Approach - Unmissable!!

3) Yet despite these reasons, lockdowns are coming back (green = relaxed, red = restrictive):

Sadly, Sweden will be proven right again, and we are half lucky to have less draconian measures here in HK than ironically, most 'liberal democracies' in the West... cue Lord Sumption's speech at the start of this post.

4) HK's latest statistics, despite less stringent lockdown measures than most of Europe, continues to demonstrate that covid is no worse than any other seasonal flu, as the year-to-date death figures by cause prove:

Note that even in the >65 age group (3rd from right), death rates of most other causes YTD in HK are multiples of covid, with all-population deaths up to 117x of covid. Shutting down the economy may indeed cause more harm?
