> "lockdowns may not be necessary to achieve reasonable results." Even so, Sweden doesn't prove this. They have had lockdowns, e.g. severe limits on social gatherings. You can only say they haven't had lockdowns if you take the pedantic view that "it's not a lockdown if it's not legally enforced, even if everyone follows your rules". Also, arguably the excess deaths in March/April (comparing to Nordic neighbours especially) and the surging cases now are not "reasonable results".
