>Implementing any NPIs [Non Pharmaceutical Interventions eg lockdown] was associated with significant reductions in case growth in 9 out of 10 study countries
There ARE very mixed results from the More Restrictive NPIs ("mrNPI"s).
I suspect that's because places like the UK (where I am) have pretended to implimented mrNPIs while actually encouraging people to go back to BAU. We're under super double extra serious lockdown here. In practise that means everything is the same as it was in any of the lockdown but some schools are closed for some pupils.
I went out and bought jewellery today (an essential good apparently). After that, I went to the supermarket where even the staff had no masks on.
But our numbers will be pooled with countries where lockdown means more than pubs only doing takeaway...
