1. You cannot understand the significance of this virus simply by looking at the raw death figures
2. The policy response to the virus has been driven by modelling of Covid – not other factors
3. We don’t know if lockdown is working
4. We should ease the lockdown to save lives
5. Lockdown is not sustainable
6. Lockdown directly harms those most likely to be affected by coronavirus
7. Lockdown directly harms those who will be largely unaffected by coronavirus
8. The health service has not been overwhelmed nor likely to be
9. The virus is almost certainly not a constant threat
10. People can be trusted to behave sensibly
One thing has become clear: Covid is not, in fact, an extraordinarily
lethal pathogen, just a nasty one, similar to many others. So it makes
no sense whatsoever to follow the science on Covid to the exclusion of
everything else. The government should rapidly lift the lockdown to a
condition similar to that of Sweden’s. "
