Lockdowns are associated with reduced COVID-19 mortality in epidemiological modelling studies but not in studies based on empirical data from the COVID-19 pandemic. Psychological research supports the proposition that lockdowns may exacerbate stressors such as social isolation and unemployment that have been shown to be strong predictors of falling ill if exposed to a respiratory virus.

Panagiotis Sotiris: "The notion of biopolitics, as it was formulated by Michel Foucault, has been a very important contribution to our understanding of the changes associated with the passage to capitalist modernity, especially in regards to the ways that power and coercion are exercised.

Foucault's Care of the Self as a Biopolitical alternative
Panagiotis Sotiris: "Foucault himself, in his late work, points towards such a direction, around the notions of truth, parrhesia and care of the self.5 In this highly original dialogue with ancient philosophy, in particular Hellenistic and Roman, he suggested an alternative politics of bios that combines individual and collective care, based on a certain obligation and courage to tell the truth, in non-coercive ways. In such a perspective, the decisions for the reduction of movement and for s...

They can insist on state power (and coercion) being used to channel resources from the private sector to socially necessary directions. The...
The role of Foucault
Emanuele Leonardi: " As a starting point, from an empirical, micro-physical perspective, it is possible to situate the emergence of biopolitics in the progressive implementation of governmental technologies of power whose specific goal is the simultaneous empowerment of individual and collective bodies. With the termgovernmentality, Foucault articulates three aspects: a) the ensemble of institutions, tactics and analyses that allow a specific kind of power to be exercised over the population...
