Anders, not true, There is no statistical deviation in any nation that enacted harsher lockdown measures than others. Indeed. Institutions I do not like even say the best approach is the Swedish approach. The UN and WHO has both said this.
"In the current crisis the most alarming model, nay probably the most influential in the implementation of the draconian quarantines worldwide, projected a maximum of 2.2 million American deaths and 550,000 United Kingdom deaths unless there were severe restrictions for 18 months or until a vaccine was developed. The primary author: Neil Ferguson. Right, Mad Cow/Avian Flu Fergie.
Then a funny thing happened. A mere nine days after announcing his model, Ferguson said a better number for the U.K. would be only 20,000. The equivalent would be fewer than 80,000 American deaths. Technically, that U.K. number was buried in a table in the report under what might be called “a fantastic case scenario.” But could that reduction possibly reflect a mere nine days of restrictions? No."
A quote from the last article I linked. Besides. If we are expected to enter lockdown for the sake of the most vulnerable in society then the borders should have been shut as well. They were not. Ergo the lockdown could never have been successful. Then there is the illegal migrant issue as well that complicates pro lockdown arguments.
