The country that had the most sane (i.e. no lockdowns, no masks, protect the vulnerable) response to COVID had the FEWEST deaths. Sweden Wins With Lowest Pandemic Mortality in Europe, BBC Analysis Shows
What a shock. Herd immunity, and no panic, solved the problem better than the other countries that freaked out.

Responding to Sweden’s success, Prof. Sridhar commented that it’s hard to read straight across from Scandinavian countries to the U.K., arguing “we’d never look like either Sweden or Norway”, and describing them as “healthier, wealthier and more equal” countries that are very different to the U.K. Right.

But Sweden is populated entirely by rich, athletic socialists so could get away with it. That’s anthropology, I guess
