Date: 2020-05-22 01:25 am (UTC)I am not sure what the argument is exactly. It is not like everyone instantly went to a crowded club after the lockdown. We probably have to wait for a few weeks to see any effects.
And this makes no sense at all: “This means that the pandemic and COVID-19 likely have its own dynamics unrelated to often inconsistent lockdown measures that were being implemented..” Perhaps you can argue that social distancing/masks without lockdown would have similar effect, but clearly those things affect the virus spread.

Date: 2020-05-22 03:17 pm (UTC)My understanding is that he claims that the epidemic has its own dynamics and lockdowns do not help to slow it down. I find this absurd, since we know the physical mechanism of viral spread and lockdowns clearly make it more difficult for the virus to propagate. Am I misinterpreting what he is saying?

// and lockdowns do not help to slow it down
no, only the excessive portion doesn't help
