Nobel prize winning scientist Prof Michael Levitt: lockdown is a “huge mistake”

A growing number of scientists are taking issue with and speaking out on the approach taken to dealing with the Corona virus pandemic. Prof Michael Levitt's perspective is close to that of Dr David Katz which I blogged previously under the title An unusually intelligent perspective on "total harm" of Covid-19 by Dr. David Katz of Yale. That approach in a nutshell might be called measured lock down (as opposed to universal), where the highest risk populations are locked down in "silos". Then the lowest risk among us proceeds but with certain restrictions. The net benefit of this approach, according to this perspective, will be a shorter period of "virulence", a more rapid achievement of herd immunity, and economic restrictions as opposed to complete shutdown. And most surprisingly perhaps, an approximately equal number of deaths from the virus.
