YouTube contra Wittkowski que é contra o confinamento

YouTube censors epidemiologist Knut Wittkowski for opposing lockdown: former head of biostatistics, epidemiology and research design at Rockefeller University, says YouTube removed a video of him talking about the virus that had racked up more than 1.3 million views.
Wittkowski, 65, is a ferocious critic of the nation’s current steps to fight the coronavirus. He has derided social distancing, saying it only prolongs the virus’ existence, and has attacked the current lockdown as mostly unnecessary.

We shut down the economy to make progress against COVID-19 — and then made no progress: The two indicators are related. One source of discontent with the shutdown is the broken promise that it would give the country time to put in place a program to successfully fight the virus. Without a program of testing and screening to identify viral hot spots and institute selective quarantines, the general public has learned it faces many months more of work, travel and recreational constraints. The impulse to return to normality is fighting an increasingly tense battle with advice to maintain social isolation.
