I agree the lockdowns were a big mistake with much damage done

As with many things in life, it's not what was done but rather how it was done that matters.
The high number of excess deaths in developed countriesof Europe / USA/ Australia etc post-covid period has come to the attention of a number of organisations, organisations including the OECD.
Excess deaths being deaths which exceed fluctuations over and above expected numbers, in UK the excess being 100,000 over two years.
To date there are no consensual answers or explanations for the phenomenen, but Covid has not been eliminated.
Links is just two of many articles to be found.

No, that's irrelevant. It should never have been done in any way, shape or form. Numerous different countries did it probably in numerous different ways and the outcomes were the same.
That was my feeling at the time and I haven't changed my mind in that.
Except the outcomes weren't the same.
No; outcomes were actually better in Sweden!
But we don't need to go through all this again, surely?
Nope. Which is why I said no more than I did.

I know we don't want to go through this again but outcomes were pretty much same in all countries with lockdowns. They had to concede eventually they couldn't control the virus. No point going there with death tolls as each country had its own way of counting so comparisons very hard to make.
I hope we can all agree we have our opinions on this subject and, four years on and hundreds of posts later across multiple threads, it seems highly unlikely that anyone on this thread is going to change the others mind. Best to move on I think!
