Many officials continue to pursue a COVID-19 mitigation policy of broad societal lockdown focusing on containing the spread of the disease at all costs, instead of the original objective of “flattening the curve” and preventing hospital overcrowding. Although well-intentioned, the lockdown was imposed without consideration of its consequences beyond those directly resulting from the pandemic. Dr. Atlas will relate how continuing these lockdown policies are yielding devastating ramifications far beyond the damage of the virus itself.
