Yeah, the one major European country with even worse GDP decline than the UK is Spain, which also happened to have what was generally considered to be the strictest lockdown in Europe. Sweden, on the other hand, had a much smaller decrease in GDP despite their economy being heavily reliant on exporting to the rest of Europe.
- OJFord 6y ago> Spain, which also happened to have what was generally considered to be the strictest lockdown in Europe. And also most flouted?
- heracles 6y agoYes, but we also didn't close down our economy nearly as much as most other European countries. I'm just saying that there are too many variables to conclude anything at this point, especially given that we won't have a good guess on "final" death toll until widespread immunity (from vaccine or otherwise).
