He has been applying his "dynamic causal modelling" approach to the Covid-19 pandemic, and has reached some startling results. - The differences between countries are not primarily down to government actions, but due to 'intrinsic' differences in the populations - We don't yet fully understand what is driving it, although there are theories ranging from levels of vitamin D to genetic differences - In each country, there appears to be a portion of the population that is 'not even in the game' - that is, not susceptible to Covid-19. This varies hugely between countries - In the UK, Professor Friston estimates that portion to be at least 50%, and probably more like 80% - The similar mortality results between Sweden (no lockdown) and the UK (lockdown) are best explained by the fact that in reality there was no difference - the impact of the legal lockdown in Professor Friston's models "literally goes away".
