Dr. Scott Atlas: Prolonged Lockdown Is Severely Harmful To The Country, “It’s Killing People”

Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

Atlas, special adviser to the president, responds to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden vowing to shut down the U.S. economy again if necessary to protect the country from the coronavirus.

The prolonged lockdown . . . is killing people. We don’t just talk even about the medical care that’s been missed. We’re not just talking about the unemployment-related suicides and other harms.

We have the latest data from the CDC that showed that there’s a massive increase in people with psychiatric illness and depressive and anxiety disorders.

There is no such thing as a free lockdown.
