1. A million dead or damaged is a bit more than a stretch i think
2. This seems to argue more for underlining problems in Australia's mental health services then the lockdown
3. It of course also begs the question how much worst would it have been without the lockdown. As it assumes these issues wouldn't have cropped up anyway. A low death count could just as easily argue for the success of the lockdown.
4. One more interesting note . If the lockdown is the cause of suicides why didn't countries experience a drop on no significant increase in suicides despite being lockdown and why countries who didn't lockdown still saw spike in suicides ? Again this seems a bigger issue than merely the lockdown . It was a fault of a countries mental health system .
Of course he will dismiss this as "excuses " .But that really doesn't matter .
As I mentioned before, America has had a fairly Laissez-fairy attitude towards potential lockdowns (the states, for the most part, are a different story) and look what’s happened: of all the known cases and deaths, a bit less than a third have been in America.
And, of course, there’s been estimates of what would likely happen if COVID was allowed to just spread through Australia. I posted This one a While ago. The results would not be pretty, unless, of course, you think people needlessly dying because more people are going into the medical system than they can handle is your idea of pretty.
