The Myth That Lockdowns Stop Pandemics

The Myth That Lockdowns Stop Pandemics: According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control: “There are no historical observations or scientific studies that support the confinement by quarantine of groups of possibly infected people for extended periods in order to slow the spread. It is hard to imagine that measures like those within the category of social distancing would not have some positive impact by reducing transmission of a human respiratory infection . . . However, the evidence base supporting each individual measure is often weak.”
