Fox News
The Los Angeles Times became the focus of intense online criticism Wednesday over a column it published claiming coronavirus lockdowns didn't hurt the economy.
"The problem with this argument is that there’s very little evidence that lockdowns themselves damaged local economies more than individual behavior that would have happened anyway, lockdowns or not. Nor is there much evidence that lifting lockdowns produced a faster recovery," Hiltzik wrote. The paper was blasted on social media with reactions to the perplexing claim.More Related News
