CHECK THE DATA: Nobel Prize-Winning Scientist Says Strict Lockdowns For COVID-19 Were An Overreaction

Professor Michael Levitt, who won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2013, says the lockdowns ordered by state governors were a complete overreaction to COVID-19 and may actually backfire. 
By now you’ve heard the term “herd immunity,” which means that many people are exposed to a virus, build antibodies, and then enjoy immunity. That’s how society continues to function, despite endless viruses popping up from time to time. 
Levitt, who teaches structural biology at the Stanford School of Medicine, has been analyzing the COVID-19 outbreak from a statistical perspective ever since January, according to Unherd.com. He says that despite all the predictions, the data show that the COVID-19 outbreak never actually grew exponentially, which means the draconian lockdown measures were most likely unnecessary.

The second man was found dead inside the vehicle on Charlemagne Circle, police said. He has not yet been identified.

Liu was a researcher with the department of computational and systems biology in the Pitt School of Medicine, the department said Monday.

"Bing was on the verge of making very significant findings toward understanding the cellular mechanisms that underlie SARS-CoV-2 infection and the cellular basis of the following complications," the department said in a written statement. "We will make an effort to complete what he started in an effort to pay homage to his scientific excellence."

Bing Liu "was on the verge of making very significant findings" in a SARS-CoV-2 research project at the University of Pittsburgh, his department said.
