RE: Overdose deaths spike amid coronavirus.  Hamilton Spectator 11 Nov 20.

That the effects of the lockdown itself would cause more life-years lost than saved in potential coronavirus deaths was known and publicized in April.  The cure became worse than the disease after four weeks of lockdown.  Finally, authorities in Ontario are beginning to admit it.

It isn’t just opioid deaths that increased as a result of lockdown measures, it’s alcoholism, domestic violence, untreated and undiagnosed diseases and other conditions such as cancer, heart disease, strokes, and pneumonia.  Coronavirus is a disease of the elderly, and the average age of a person dying of it is 83.  Addictions and these other sicknesses are those of the young and middle aged.  A person of 25 who dies of an overdose had prospectively another fifty years of life ahead, while a person who died of coronavirus at 81 had prospectively two years of life ahead.  Hence, measured in life-years, the death of twenty-five elderly equals one death of a young overdose victim.

The math is hard, but it points to a policy of protecting the elderly while leaving everyone else to live their normal lives.  But that isn’t what was done.  The W.H.O. now advises against lockdowns, but the uncomprehending medical overlords are moving to lock us down again in the face of rising…..cases.  Not deaths, cases.

One can only look on in amazement at this disaster of centralized planning and control.
