Lockdowns in the U.S. and Europe had little or no impact in reducing deaths from COVID-19, according to a new analysis by researchers at Johns Hopkins University.
The lockdowns during the early phase of the
pandemic in 2020 reduced COVID-19 mortality by about 0.2%, said the
broad review of multiple scientific studies. “We find no evidence that lockdowns, school
closures, border closures, and limiting gatherings have had a noticeable
effect on COVID-19 mortality,” the researchers wrote. READ MORE AT https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/jan/31/lockdowns-had-little-or-no-impact-covid-19-deaths-/

As this has been the subject of considerable online discussion, here's how nearby NORTH CASTLE is handling it:
No. Castle Denounces Harckham Accessory Dwelling Unit Legislation
Martin Wilbur
North Castle Supervisor Michael Schiliro and the Town Board came out swinging last week against a bill introduced by Sen. Peter Harckham in the state Senate to allow for widespread accessory apartments.
North Castle officials are prepared to fight a local state senator’s
bill to allow for as-of-right accessory dwelling units statewide by
galvanizing other municipalities to raise opposition to their state
representatives and Gov. Kathy Hochul.
Hochul
pulls affordable housing proposal from state budget--Gov. Hochul saw
the expansion of "accessory dwelling units" as a way to combat a
statewide crisis in affordable housing, but the proposal has drawn
criticism from Republicans and some Democrats, who say it could harm
suburban neighborhoods. MORE FROM NEW YORK NEWSDAY HERE.
