\"\"<\/a>A scientific advisor to the UK government says the coronavirus lockdown was a \u201cpanic measure\u201d and a \u201cmonumental mistake on a global scale.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Infectious diseases expert and University of Edinburgh professor Mark Woolhouse acknowledged that the decision to lockdown in March was a \u201ccrude measure\u201d that was enacted because \u201cwe couldn\u2019t think of anything better to do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLockdown was a panic measure and I believe history will say trying to control Covid-19 through lockdown was a monumental mistake on a global scale, the cure was worse than the disease,\u201d said Woolhouse, who is now calling on the government to unlock society before more damage is done.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI never want to see national lockdown again,\u201d he added. \u201cIt was always a temporary measure that simply delayed the stage of the epidemic we see now. It was never going to change anything fundamentally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The professor asserts that the impact of the response to coronavirus will be worse than the virus itself.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI believe the harm lockdown is doing to our education, health care access, and broader aspects of our economy and society will turn out to be at least as great as the harm done by COVID-19,\u201d said Woolhouse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Richard Sullivan, professor of cancer at King\u2019s College London, previously warned<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>that there will be more excess cancer deaths over the next 5 years than the number of people who die from coronavirus in the UK due to the disruption caused by the coronavirus lockdown, which is preventing cancer victims from getting treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Figures also show that there were more excess deaths during the 2017-18 flu season (around 50,000) than the total number of people in the UK who have died from coronavirus (41,433).<\/span><\/p>\n

However, a survey<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>conducted last month found that Brits thought around 7 per cent of the population, 5 million people, had been killed by COVID-19.<\/span><\/p>\n
