The Mathematics Against Lockdowns
In a bioRxiv preprint first posted October 21, 2020 (and later published in Molecular Biology and Evolution), Dellacour et al.

Continuing monetary stimulus and suppressed rates mean less confidence fiat currencies will return to past glory. Von Mises (1966): “Economics recommends neither inflationary nor deflationary policy.
