Study Reveals That the Stress From Coronavirus Response Will Destroy More Years of Life Than Lockdowns Save; Salon Owner Sent to Jail for Reopening During Lockdown

By Washington Examiner. A recent study shows that anxiety and social disruption because of the coronavirus could destroy 7 times more years of human lives than can be saved by strict lockdowns.

The study, conducted by Just Facts, computed based on a broad array of scientific data that stress is one of the deadliest health hazards in the world, and stay-at-home orders, business shutdowns, media frenzy, as well as legitimate concerns about the virus can ultimately cost more lives than lockdowns can save.

“This research is engaging and thoroughly answers the question about the cure being worse than the disease,” said Joseph P. Damore, Jr., M.D., who reviewed the study.

Just Facts compiled mental health studies showing that one-third to one-half of all U.S. adults have been “substantially compromised” by reactions to the pandemic, citing several examples including a survey from the American Psychiatric Association, showing that at least 36% of adults say the coronavirus is “is having a serious impact on their mental health.” (Read more from “Study Reveals That the Stress From Coronavirus Response Will Destroy More Years of Life Than Lockdowns Save” HERE)

Salon Owner Gets 7 Days in Jail for Reopening During Coronavirus Lockdown

By NBC News. A Dallas salon owner was sentenced to seven days behind bars Tuesday for disobeying coronavirus shutdown orders, doing business well ahead of even the aggressive reopening plans in Texas.

Dallas County Judge Eric Moye held Shelley Luther, owner of Salon À la Mode, and her corporate entity, Hot Mess Enterprises, in criminal and civil contempt. . .

A defiant Luther, who faces at least $3,500 in fines, argued that she was trying to prevent her children and employees from “going hungry,” NBC Dallas-Fort Worth reported.

“I have to disagree when you say I’m selfish, because feeding my kids is not selfish,” Luther said. “I have hair stylists going hungry because they’d rather feed their kids. If you think law is more important than kids being fed, go ahead with your decision. But I’m not going to shut the salon.” (Read more from “Salon Owner Gets 7 Days in Jail for Reopening During Coronavirus Lockdown” HERE)
