I think the point of people advocating the Swedish model is that it's not fair to compare Sweden now with the Czech Republic now. If a country implements strict lockdown measures for three months and then no lockdown measures it might well be it has equal or more deaths a year from now. This will only become a fair comparison at the end of the pandemic.

So all those Swedish deaths could have potentially been pushed to now when the mortality rate is lower due to new treatments like dexamethasone. Instead, they were not pushed so they all died. Had they been pushed, a third likely would have survived. So already we know Sweden's strategy is total shit that lead to avoidable deaths.

- mnm1 6y agoA randomized clinical study involving thousands of patients is not good enough to assert this?
