They look nothing alike because they're not plotting the same data? In the links you posted, the graph for France shows new deaths per million, the one for Brasil shows new cases. This is a graph for deaths comparing France (total lockdown) and Sweden and Brasil (no lockdown): https://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/?chart=countries-normalized&highlight=France&show=25&y=both&scale=linear&data=deaths-daily-7&data-source=jhu&xaxis=left&extra=Sweden%2CBrazil#countries-normalized https://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/?chart=countr... Brasil never had the peak that we had in Europe. And the difference between the total lockdown of France and Sweden's business as usual is visible but not dramatic. I find it incredible, and humbling, that we understand so little about the spread of a simple respiratory virus.
