> Sweden is not a clear-cut example for either the pro-restriction or anti-restriction side, but it does weigh against particularly painful restrictions, by showing how hard it is to definitively pin down a positive impact from them.
> Sweden does show that restrictions were not the primary factor in determining deaths rates.
> A first-line analysis suggests that restrictions had between zero impact, and a small positive impact, which would be a bit less small when viewed in proportion to the already-safe nordic environments.
> The extra restrictions imposed by Sweden’s neighbors probably fail a cost-benefit analysis, in that most people would have preferred to give up the days than deal with the extra restrictions. But people should come to their own conclusions on that.
Towards the end of the article some figures were presented showing how many days on average each person's life was extended due to restrictions in various countries, based upon the number of lives saved and the age of the people saved. The numbers ranged from two days for Norway to a couple weeks for Australia and New Zealand.
