Here is an interesting comment on an interesting article about the effects on the poor of CV19 lockdowns.

In summary David Nabarro - special envoy WHO commented on the negative affects of lockdowns on the world poor that could lead to a "doubling of world poverty by next year". This was then used to say the WHO says that lockdowns are bad BUT what was really said was the lockdowns should not be the "primary mean" of controlling spread.
It does highlight that nations that have been more successful such as New Zealand (hard lockdown, early - but doesn't also mention low population and geographic isolation that made that easier/shorter) and Tiawan/South Korea with bigger testing and isolation rules (plus more general mask wearing).
It's a good read what I've seen of it and shows how news/comments (both ways) can be taken out of context to support whatever view you want.
