Just reading about the much lower COVID death rates in Sweden which resisted lockdowns and school closures. I am sure that the explanation is complex and I don't necessarily subscribe to the ones suggested in the article but there must be an explanation. As we say further research required! https://dailysceptic.org/2022/11/08/sweden-wins-country-that-refused-lockdown-and-kept-schools-open-has-lowest-pandemic-cumulative-excess-mortality-in-the-world/

Here's some further research...
According to data compiled here:
https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19
Sweden had nearly 2000 deaths per million population, which is horrible.
@Pat Yes looking at some other data i might agree, obviously Australia and New Zealand were less than half of Sweden but the UK figures were still poor despite lockdowns. Was the difference around the timing?
