Sweden has had many more deaths than neighboring countries. The death rate slowing now is not going to bring those people back to life. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries Sort by deaths/million - Sweden is even higher than the USA. I'm not going to reply to you any more, don't think you've won just because you gish gallop on to another falsehood in your reply. |

Sweden had no lockdown and did about as bad as worst performers many of which had a heavy lockdown. This is absolutely a significant piece of information. If we had a no lockdown country getting the absolute worst result perhaps we could settle the debate. Would UK or some of the other bad performers be worse off without a lockdown? We don't know. There is no example to point to.
If UK could have had no lockdown and replicated Sweden's result then the lockdown was a huge waste.
I'm not saying that you cannot compare it to Norway, nor am I necessarily saying that Sweden couldn't get a better result with a lockdown. But even if that were to be true it doesn't mean Sweden isn't an interesting data point casting doubt on the effectiveness of lockdowns in some countries.
