Michael Levitt, a Stanford University professor who correctly predicted the initial scale of the pandemic, suggested the decision to keep people indoors was motivated by 'panic' rather than the best science
Lockdown was a waste of time and could kill more than it saved, claims Nobel laureate scientist at Stanford University
- Professor Michael Levitt won the shared Nobel prize for chemistry in 2013
- Suggested the decision to keep people indoors was motivated by 'panic'
- Professor Levitt also said Neil Ferguson's modelling overestimated deaths
- Here’s how to help people impacted by Covid-19
This graph published in a JP Morgan report shows that many countries saw their infection rates fall rather than rise again when they ended their lockdowns - suggesting that the virus may have its own 'dynamics' which are 'unrelated' to the emergency measures
A second graph shows a similar effect in the US, showing that many states saw a lower rate of transmission (R) after full-scale lockdowns were ended
Between May 12 and May 19, in a rolling seven day average, Britain saw 5.75 deaths per million inhabitants. In Sweden the figure was 6.25 deaths per million, higher than the United States (4.17), France (3.49), Italy (3.0), Spain (2.95) and Germany (0.81)
