Opinion, not “science” called for imprisonment of millions of Americans and their children indefinitely. Per CNN, UK study wasn’t peer reviewed which of course is basic. Per Nature, UK study’s computer code was not made public. Trump acted on a UK opinion, not science

The 3/16/20 UK study’s prediction of 2.2 million American deaths was opinion and not science since the study hadn’t been published in a peer-reviewed journal, and its authors declined to make their code available to the public. No one in their right mind would use an unscientific study as a reason to imprison millions of Americans and their children indefinitely, yet on March 16, 2020, “the White House quickly “ did so, though at first saying it was only for 30 days.

“The same model suggested that, with no action, the United States might face 2.2 million deaths; it was shared with the White House and new guidance on social distancing quickly followed.”….

“It wasn’t so much the numbers themselves, frightening though they were, as who reported them: Imperial College London.” 

“American officials said the report, which projected up to 2.2 million deaths in the United States from such a spread, also influenced the White House to strengthen its measures to isolate members of the public."…
