Lockdowns simply don't work. How do I know? Because Sweden, which for a long time refused to introduce any COVID restrictions at all, has less deaths per 1M people (1317) than France (1425), which introduced full lockdown.

Also, Texas recently lifted all the restrictions couple weeks ago, and number of cases and deaths is still falling.

I'm sure there are more examples like that.

According to your data, lockdown even increases the number of deaths!

The truth is that while this data is interesting, it's not enough to tell us how effective lockdowns are.
