We can't tell yet. That's the problem with all this bullshit. Science does not let you predict the future. It's like that old mathematics quote, "All models are wrong. Some models are useful."
We really have no idea what the results of US vs Sweden or Tennessee vs Virginia will hold up by looking at it now. We need to wait 12 months, look back, add some margins of error, find correlations and debate about the potential causes.
I can understand everyone being upset and wanting things now. People are dying. Other people are 2 months behind on all their bills and going to food banks for the first time in their lives to feed their families. Despite the contrary, most States are still denying unemployment to independent contractors and business owners like hair dressers.
But making any type of prediction at this point is irrational. We need to weight everything. It's not as simple as Lives vs Economy .. the economy provides for lives.
