I don’t think it’s clear what the zero restrictions scenario would look like. Short-term you get fewer job losses and more virus, which via more historical crowding actually raising the case fatality rate. Not obvious to me how that feeds back into public behavior. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias Is it your belief that the restrictions didn’t lead to excess job loss beyond the organic job loss from COVID?
