I ran across this today. Was the lock down etc a waste of time and money? Were government policies for ineffective ? Friston has the credentials as a scientist.

20% are susceptible is still a very big number.
If the virus is 1% lethal, that'd be 600k-ish deaths in the USA assuming that the spread of it is a virulent as we've been told.

With neither of them being a virologist, epidemiologist, or even in the general fields, I would take it with a grain of salt. There is a ton we still don't know about the virus and it could be much more resilient than we believe too. Those who are asymptomatic could have an outbreak later on, much like other human viruses (herpes, Esptein-Barr, etc) which could seriously harm them.
That and the fact that this website was designed specifically to be a devil's advocate for mainstream thoughts but has no verifiable proof has me unconvinced and uninterested.

I agree, a lot is unknown but the out break is strange. Friston’s hypothesis could explain why some countries have much lower rates of infection. I lived in Soul Korea and it is very densely populated, yet they had a much lower rates he doesn’t believe can be explained by government intervention and policies alone.

I know that genetics play a large role in all viruses and disease, so maybe there are connections in that as well. We'll just have to wait and see, unfortunately.
