Reading fail for you.The fact, cited by many anti-lockdown papers, as well as this pro-lockdown paper, is that the strigency of the lockdown was, at the beginning of the pandemic in Europe, correlated positively with COVID-19 cases per capita, as well as deaths per capita. And the same seems to be true (though I haven't done a precise statistical analysis on that, nor have I seen anybody doing that) in the USA now, as the COVID-19 cases are falling in Texas, but they are rising in many USA states with mask mandates and lockdowns. The fact that there are such correlations severely undermines the notion that lockdowns are effective.
And the computer models that were used to argue for lockdowns are wrong, because, first of all, most of them do not model nursing home transmissions at all. Read this, it might change the way you see the world: https://www.aier.org/article/the-failure...n-we-knew/

Though there have been, as I noted in the footnotes, some attempts to model phonological evolution of languages, no such model was validated using real-world data. And I am rather certain nobody has, thus far, tried to apply information theory to the names of places in Croatia. I have read a lot about the names of places in Croatia, nothing like that is mentioned in any of the papers I have read.
