If only conservatives had been warning about this for a year and oh right we were when the "experts" scoffed at us:
Statisticians at Munich University found “no direct connection” between the German lockdown and falling infection rates in the country.Instead, the study found infection rates had already clearly begun to fall before a national lockdown was imposed last November.It also found clear evidence the rate was already falling on the two occasions the lockdown was tightened, in December and April.The study focused on the R number, which indicates how many people each infected person passes the virus to. The scientists argue it is less easily distorted by fluctuating test rates than the weekly infection rates used by the German government to decide lockdown restrictions.The study found that on each occasion the R number was already under 1 before the new restrictions came into force, indicating that infections were falling. The lockdown has since been lifted across most of the country.
