However, the Johns Hopkins study received no mention on any of the five liberal networks this week. According to Grabien transcripts, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC all ignored the anti-lockdown findings after having spent much of the pandemic shaming red states with minimal restrictions and events deemed by critics as “superspreaders.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From May 2020 to April 2021, the U.S.\u00a0recorded 100,306 drug overdose deaths<\/u><\/a>, a 28.5% increase from the 78,056 deaths that were recorded in the previous 12-month period, according to CDC data.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Studies that looked at only shelter-in-place orders found they reduced COVID-19 mortality by 5.1%, but studies that looked at shelter-in-place orders along with other lockdown measures found that shelter-in-place orders actually increased COVID-19 mortality by 2.8%.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The researchers concluded that limiting gatherings may have actually increased COVID-19 mortality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “[Shelter-in-place orders] may isolate an infected person at home with his\/her family where he\/she risks infecting family members with a higher viral load, causing more severe illness,” the researchers wrote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A study from the National Commission on COVID-19 and Criminal Justice last year found that domestic violence incidents\u00a0increased 8.1% in the U.S.<\/u><\/a>\u00a0after lockdown orders were issued.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n About 97% of U.S. teachers<\/u><\/a> said that their students have experienced learning loss during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a Horace Mann survey last year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The unemployment rate peaked nationwide at\u00a014.8%<\/u><\/a>\u00a0in April 2020, but\u00a0declined to 3.9%<\/u><\/a>\u00a0in December, which is still slightly higher than the 3.5% rate it was at in February 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n “These costs to society must be compared to the benefits of lockdowns, which our meta-analysis has shown are marginal at best,” the researchers in the Johns Hopkins University study wrote. “Such a standard benefit-cost calculation leads to a strong conclusion: lockdowns should be rejected out of hand as a pandemic policy instrument.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" However, the Johns Hopkins study received no mention on any of the five liberal networks this week.
