I was very worried about Covid-19 when the initial data and charts were coming out of China and Italy. It seemed like it was going to quickly overwhelm all the hospitals in America. Since then, I've become much less scared about the impact on me personally, and more skeptical about the need for most (not all) lockdown measures. This was based on my reading of antibody prevalence data, and data on death rates separated out by age and risk factors.
At this point, I think Sweden strategy makes the most sense. It is sustainable for many months, unlike more extreme lockdowns. Additionally, I think more strict lockdowns on older population makes sense. For 90%+ of the population, I think we can lift most/all lockdown measures today.
