TSCF calls for an end to covid-19 lockdown

Friday, 1 May 2020

As the process of the covid-19 pandemic develops, information transpires that allows to have a clearer picture of the situation.
Whereas:

– the lethality of covid-19 appears lower than the initial predictions,

– the lethality of covid-19 is no higher that other comparable diseases,

– the overall death rates were unaffected by covid-19,

– sars-cov-2 remains an ill-known and ill-identified virus that the PCR tests cannot diagnose with full accuracy,

– pneumonia and flu are common respiratory conditions at this time of the year and target the same population with comparable results,

– most deaths involve persons aged 80+ suffering from one or several other chronic diseases,

– a number of death cases are attributed to covid-19 while they could be caused by other, concomitant conditions,

– the so-called saturation of the healthcare systems happened mostly locally,

– there is no evidence that stay-at-home orders have stopped or slowed down the pandemic,

– those countries that have not issued such orders actually have equivalent or better results than those that did,

– social distancing can undermine social interaction and instill fear and mistrust within society,

– lockdowns and travel bans will have a dramatic impact on growth, employment and the living standards, by causing a huge shock on both demand and supply. It is vital to reopen businesses and restore supply chains as soon as possible for the material and mental well-being of the population.

TSCF judges that the reasonable conditions that would justify such drastic measures as those taken by governments are not fulfilled.

TSCF calls for :

– governments to lift any confinement measures,

– citizens to resume their activities and live as normal,

– businesses to reopen as soon as they are ready.
