ISTM that with equal justification, you could argue that the lockdown countries have (possibly) more economic damage because they paid up front. But one side is paying in treasure, the other in blood.
And it's not even clear that Sweden is reaping economic benefits. Some parts of their economy suffered just as much damage as other countries. And now, many of the lockdown countries are experimenting with loosened restrictions, while Sweden's infection and death rates remain stubbornly high.
- mikem170 7y agoIt could also be the case where lockdown countries are paying up front in economic damage AND will also pay later in deaths because there won't be a vaccine in time to stop this from spreading to everyone anyways.
