5 revelations from the House COVID-19 report

Lockdowns in US cities were ‘worse than the disease'
The report contends that the strict "stay-at-home" orders imposed by states and local governments to curb the spread of the virus often did more harm than good and points to the widespread economic, psychological and social consequences of these measures.
The fallout from so-called "stay at home" health mandates in California and other states led to outcomes such as increased unemployment, mental health issues and educational disruption, and was disproportionately high compared to the health benefits, according to the panel.
"The prescription cannot be worse than the disease, such as strict and overly broad lockdowns that led to predictable anguish and avoidable consequences," the report stated.
