COVID 19

It turns out that history has much to teach us about people, plagues and pestilence.

Talk Radio host Mike Graham speaks to journalist and author Peter Hitchens for round four of their now seemingly weekly clash over coronavirus and the effects of lockdown. Peter Hitchens says, “the country has simultaneously been having a heart attack and a stroke during lockdown” as he expresses concerns over long term economic damage already done as a result of lockdown policy.

In this follow-up interview with Stanford University’s Dr John Ioannidis, he explains the findings from three preliminary studies, (including his latest, which shows a drastically reduced infection fatality rate); the negative health and economic effects of draconian ‘lockdown’ policies, as well as Sweden’s non-lockdown approach, Italian data, the pros and cons of testing and finally the feasibility of much touted ‘contact tracing’, and much more.
