If teleconferencing was a perfect substitute for face to face meetings, why does the world spend so much every year on office space, commuting to work, hotels, flights etc. ?
I said "and other basic human needs". The article mentioned people that can no longer escape abusive relationships. There's also children who will not see both parents during the lockdown because they are separated.
(Btw, I'm personally sticking 100% to the rules of the lockdown.
I'm just saying the lockdown is interfering with human nature and will become unenforceable)
There are alternatives to locking the whole population down: For example the Imperial College study predicts less deaths if only the 70+ population is locked down.

Sacrificing 4 months of exercise, meaningful conversation, sex and other basic human needs is really not worth it.
