Totally agree, Henegan has been rational from the start.

and
Local lockdowns are going to stop people getting tested which will be counterproductive.

I agree with lots of what he says- as humans we are terrible at risk assessing, and the “stay home, save lives” (which lots of people translated into “stay home, stay safe”) has caused a lot of damage to people, who are now still scared to leave the house.

I hope what he says about the virus being less dangerous is true, but I don’t feel qualified to judge the science and evidence on that one!

Good point about testing and local lockdowns. There are so many reasons for people to avoid testing, and this is could definitely be a factor. I’m not sure what the solution is though, as we obviously need to try and stop the spread somehow....
