Nobel laureate in chemistry, biophysicist, Stanford University Professor Michael Levitt criticized the regime of self-isolation. He noted that people are more lost than gained, due to the quarantine regime.
Michael Levitt said that, maybe people have avoided coronavirus, but during the isolation they have escalated the problem with other diseases as people did not receive adequate medical care, as well as among the population has increased the incidents of domestic violence and alcohol consumption, according to the British site The Telegraph.
I think that isolation has not saved lives
"It can prevent a few deaths in traffic accidents, and the like, but social damage — domestic violence, divorce, alcoholism — became more extreme. And then there are those who are not treated for other diseases" — quoted Biophysics on the portal.
The scientist cited the example of USA, where the predictions of the self-isolation was to reduce the number of victims of coronavirus, but the introduction of the regime are unable to reduce mortality in the country. While in Germany and Denmark, where the regime of self-isolation began to ease, the mortality rate is significantly lower.
Michael Levitt believes that the world of self-isolation was a waste of time.
