I look at Sweden's numbers, and I see numbers comparable to places that have done phased lockdowns and shutdowns and mandatory muzzling. Or in other words, the exact same problems that existed in Sweden, existed everywhere else. Empirically speaking, Sweden "won": Same death rate as other places OF CORONA-CHAN SPECIFICALLY, while having far less death rate from things like economic downturn, which holds a very high death rate of its own.
This is because the spread was likely at its worst before any lockdowns were in place at all. They already failed to "flatten the curve" and most hospitals were able to handle it.
It's becoming far more clear that the crisis, which was still an actual crisis, has been blown out of proportion for political reasons. You only need to look at the media's stances of if somebody should wear a mask and Hydroxycholoquine.
In the UK at least the lockdowns were never about saving lives, it was to stem the flow of sick people into the hospitals and healthcare system that is drastically understaffed, underfunded, under equipped and administrated extremely poorly.
The worst part is if you ever bring it up then it's either the boomers fault (somehow despite them paying into the system) rather than say the people running it and the government for letting people access it for free who have no entitlement to do so.
Conservative government underfunded the NHS political football for a decade now in order to support bringing in privatisation. Yeah it's badly run but again, who's the people putting them in charge?
Cause they're going to compare Sweden to Norway/Finland/Denmark because they're more culturally similar. However, they will also ignore Norways health ministry saying Norway could have achieve similar results to what it got without implementing a lockdown.
