Sweden, without COVID lockdowns, is on track for fewer deaths in 2020 than 2018.

The country also has a lower COVID deathtoll per capita than Belgium, Italy, USA.

Lockdown is not a solution. Dealing with air pollution (ending the burning of coal and oil) and obesity (banning and taxing added sugar) would yield significantly greater benefits and require much less cost and effort.
