Johns Hopkins Professor Steve Hanke: “Covid Lesson Learned, Four Years Later”
Dr. Steve Hanke—Professor of Applied Economics at Johns Hopkins University & former Senior Economist for Ronald Reagan’s Council of Economic Advisers—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his most recent Wall Street Journal editorial, “Covid Lesson Learned, Four Years Later.” According to a new report he co-authored, mandatory Covid-19 lockdowns resulted in excess deaths via non-Covid illnesses and societal disruptions. Dr. Hanke notes that another damaging policy was prolonged school closures. He writes: “By one estimate today’s children will lose $17 trillion in lifetime earnings owing to school closings.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/covid-lessons-learned-four-years-later-596a9fa9
