WHO would have thought this ridiculous Chinese Communist kneejerk was a waste of all our time?

The UK Health Security Agency concluded that evidence around NPIs is weak



On Wednesday, the UK Health Security Agency quietly released a review
which found that the evidence base for the effectiveness of non-
pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) on Covid transmission was weak. These
include such measures as lockdown, the ‘rule of 6’, test and isolation, face
coverings, border restrictions, and more.

The review identified 151 studies conducted in the UK. Two-thirds of the
evidence identified was based on modelling studies, and there were only two
randomised control trials included. Studies focused on measures to identify or
isolate infectious people or reduce the number of human contacts were the
most numerous. Only nine studies focused on measures to protect the most
vulnerable.

The report concluded that “there is a lack of strong evidence on the
effectiveness of NPIs to reduce COVID-19 transmission”:
