So what? Krugman is also a Nobelist, if you're merely content with regurgitating decades-old ad hominem promulgated by conservative economists who are in denial about their own partisanship. It is factually true that Krugman early on advocated for lockdowns using an economic argument. Either that's useful to know and look into, or not. But the level of your response to this fact was purely vacuous anti-intellectualism, a kind of partisanship of its own.
