Is the reason some EU countries are experiencing a rise in Covid infections, but not the UK, because regional epidemics follow the same pattern as seasonal flu epidemics, with some aggressive and others mild?
I have written a short reflection on the year gone by and why the grotesque mismanagement of the crisis by our elites has shaken my faith in Britain, but not quite destroyed it.
Research indicates the Common Cold suppresses COVID-19 infection. In a guest post, Guy de la Bédoyère points out that lockdowns may have stopped us getting the very thing that would have protected us against coronavirus.
According to a new report by the Royal Academy, the UK faces a decade of misery thanks to... well, the RA says "the pandemic" but it's the lockdowns, obvs. Damage caused by the "pandemic" much less in Sweden and Florida.
We're publishing an original piece today by Dr James Moreton Wakeley, a former Parliamentary researcher, about the Government's shameful use of sophisticated psychological techniques to terrify the British public.
To mark the anniversary of the first lockdown, I'm publishing a collection of short pieces by all the regular contributors to Lockdown Sceptics – and the editorial staff – reflecting on our annus horribilis.
Lockdown Sceptics has published an excellent, very thorough demolition of the critique of the Great Barrington Declaration set out in Anti-Virus: COVID-19 FAQ, the oddly-named, now moribund site set up by @NeilDotObrien.
James Delingpole has written a guest post for Lockdown Sceptics about being on the march on Saturday. "There was a great deal more racial diversity than you'd find at a BLM or an XR rally," he writes.
The Daily Mail has totted up the lockdown bill: £500 million a day in lost output, pubs and restaurants losing £1.7 billion a week, 15,000 shops never to reopen, NHS waiting list now at 4.6 million... it's a catastrophe.
The conventional wisdom is that had Boris locked down a week earlier last March, fewer people would have died of COVID-19. But a Cambridge epidemiologist thinks the opposite is true: delaying the lockdown saved lives.
