Are Lockdowns Effective in Managing Pandemics?​

"The price tag of lockdowns in terms of public health is high: by using the known connection between health and wealth, we estimate that lockdowns may claim 20 times more life years than they save. It is suggested therefore that a thorough cost-benefit analysis should be performed before imposing any lockdown for either COVID-19 or any future pandemic."

Federal Court Restores Gray Wolf’s Endangered Species Act Protection​
OAKLAND, Calif.— A federal judge today restored protection to gray wolves, reversing a Trump-era rule that removed Endangered Species Act protection from the animals across most of the country. Today’s ruling prohibits wolf hunting and trapping in states outside of the northern Rocky Mountains.


Another Trump travesty undone?
ones opinion on this will no doubt be colored by where you live. the folks living with wolves while making their living from cattle and sheep will have a different view than someone in an apt in NYC that hopes to see or hear wolves while on vacation. ditto the guides & outfitters making a living from deer & elk hunters going out west on possibly a once in a lifetime trip. yeah, they too would think it is cool to hear/see wolves, but elk populations in some areas are but a shadow of what they once were since the re-introduction of wolves in some areas. hunters and fishermen, by the way, ponied up the money out of Pittman-Robertson taxes for all of that. wolves deserve to be there, but not protected to such a degree that they are detrimental to other species. in SOME areas, elk/deer had literally destroyed their habitat (riparian locales mostly) , and the wolves brought it all back into an ecologically level balance... it is a tricky balancing act to be sure. wolves = cool. too MANY wolves= not cool.

I guess it does when you don't read the 127 page court filing that's linked in the article.

Of course you knew that, though.

sauce :ROFLMAO:
Well, I mean most of the article was not about what is mentioned in the title. So, what tool did he use? Why was it he who used it (rather than a neutral third party? Or, is this just a garbage click-bait article ( Hempy suspects the latter).
