“We in the World Health Organization do not
advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus,” the
group’s envoy, Dr. David Nabarro, told world health leaders and media on
Sunday. “The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you
time to reorganize, regroup, rebalance your resources, protect your
health workers who are exhausted, but by and large, we’d rather not do
it” (Daily Wire).
Back in March, Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned lockdowns should not be lifted. “These
measures are the best way to suppress and stop transmission so that
when restrictions are lifted, the coronavirus doesn’t resurge,” he said.
“The last thing any country needs is to open schools and businesses,
only to be forced to close them again because of a resurgence” (New York Post).
