Accordingly,\u00a0<em>Revolver News<\/em>\u00a0set out to commission a study to do precisely that: to finally quantify the net damage of the lockdowns in terms of a metric known as \u201clife-years.\u201d Simply put, we have drawn upon existing economic studies on the health effects of unemployment to calculate an estimate of how many years of life will have been lost due to the lockdowns in the United States, and have weighed this against an estimate of how many years of life will have been saved by the lockdowns.\u00a0<strong>The results are nothing short of staggering, and suggest that the lockdowns will end up costing Americans over 10 times as many years of life as they will save from the virus itself.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Democrat Presidential candidate Joe Biden, by contrast, has suggested that he is willing to impose further lockdowns if \u201cscientists\u201d tell him to do so. It is unclear which scientists Joe Biden would be listening to, as there is no consensus among scientists and experts as to whether or not lockdowns are worth the staggering costs they impose on the common man. <strong>&#8211; article<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The reasoning behind this forecast is valid. Written before the pandemic became a \u201cthing\u201d, the economic losses and troublemakers with nothing to do causing damage were valid projections. And what have we been seeing?\u00a0 Scroll down to the &#8220;Cheat Sheet&#8221; title, which is the start of the study itself. It is enlightening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was written as a forecast that the CV19 shut down would (and did) result &hellip; <a title=\"Someone Knew&#8230;.\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=104625\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Someone Knew&#8230;.<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":653,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[220,484],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-104625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-floggings-will-continue-until-morale-improves","category-covid-19"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/653"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=104625"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104625\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":104630,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104625\/revisions\/104630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=104625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=104625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=104625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
