During a press conference on Wednesday, California emergency room doctors Dan Erickson and Artin Massihi of Accelerated Urgent Care told reporters that nationwide lockdown policies are not an appropriate reaction to what current data shows about the China-originated novel coronavirus but are instead causing measurable public health issues, like spikes in domestic violence, sexual abuse, depression, and spreading fear to non-COVID-19 related would-be patients that are skipping out on vital health care. We understand microbiology, we understand immunology, and we want strong immune systems, Dr. Erickson told reporters, rebuffing inconsistent shelter-in-place orders . I dont want to stay in my home and develop a weak immune system, and then come out and get a disease.
Erickson noted that quarantining the healthy is like nothing hes seen before. We decided to keep people at home and isolate them, even though everything weve studied about quarantine, typically you quarantine the sick, he explained. When someone has measles you quarantine them. Weve never seen the healthy, where you take those without disease and without symptoms and lock them in your home. So, some of these things from what weve studied from immunology and microbiology arent really meshing with what we know as people of scientific minds who read this stuff.

jazminerose: "Because I do this sort of thing, I looked up some definitions, using a disease prevention context.
You cannot *quarantine* healthy people.
You cannot *lockdown* healthy people.
The only word I found that fit our present situation is *internment*.
Thanks to HotHunt for the above great visual!
If people want to stay home, let them! NO ONE wants to force them to go out!
Easy - if you as a small business owner dont feel safe - dont open.*
Easy - If you as an individual dont feel safe with things opening up - dont go out.*

AUDIO: 13m02s: 26 Apr: 3AW: Luke Grant: Effects of the lockdown are worse than the virus: The real dangers of COVID-19 could still be ahead of us
Is it really better to be safe than sorry? A leading UK pathology professor warns us that the ramifications of a country going into lockdown could cause more damage than Coronavirus.
Professor John Lee is a writer for the UK Spectator, a retired professor of pathology and a former NHS consultant and he joined Luke Grant on Australia Overnight to give some perspective on the further reaching effects of COVID-19.
The trouble with it is that they (government) have erred on the side of better safe than sorry
its a general principle of medicine, that when youre giving a treatment to people, first do no harm.
Professor Lee shines light on the fact that nations have overestimated the dangers of, and underestimated the danger of a population going into lockdown.
The lockdown has side effects. From the economic side effects, from direct health side effects
people arent accessing health care, to health problems that were storing up for the future like people not coming in for their cancer screenings, not presenting themselves early enough when they have got chest pains for heart attacks.
Professor Lee also touches on the murky origins of Coronavirus and if we may ever have a cure for the deadly disease.

I agree. America did not lock down in 1918/19, see above.
