Thanks for sharing the information. I find it saddening that there is no broad discussion on the measures taken and their effectiveness. This would be rather important as many different groups of people suffered disproportionally during the lockdown. (Everywhere)

While I’m sure that this void of dicsussions will be filled by researchers, I’m not sure that the derived knowledge will arrive at the decision makers.

How is there no broad discussion? There's dozens of papers on the topic, both scientific and of the pseudoscientific "lockdown is worse than COVID, which is just a flu. here's a linear regression model"/"let's look at data that wasn't available to policy makers at the time" variety, and German media doesn't go a week without discussing the political or societal impact of one measure or another for a few months now.
