'The nytimes famously decried Sweden’s hands-off approach to the pandemic as 'the world’s cautionary tale.' But more data just vindicated Sweden’s approach, which kept schools open and largely rejected government lockdowns of the economy.' -Brad_Polumbo
To compare how different countries with different policies fared, we must look at more than just COVID-19 deaths — because policymaking is inherently about trade-offs. While the actual efficacy of coronavirus lockdowns is dubious at best, they were at least intended to reduce deaths from COVID-19. Yet honest commentators and policymakers alike always acknowledged they would have other, possibly life-threatening consequences.
“That data is now coming through,” Simmons wrote. “Using the most common methodology, Sweden is at the bottom — below Australia and New Zealand, which had plenty of lockdowns but very few Covid deaths.” The architect of Sweden’s light-touch approach, Anders Tegnell, has become such a polarizing figure that he’s had to live with police protection. But he stands by the approach he recommended.
