I double checked your numbers and indeed I got that we had 3.09x deaths per capita compared to Norway. Also, we did have partial lockdown and many voluntary measures that were followed. Bars we closed down, restaurants were pretty restricted, there were measures on public transportation, many people used masks, very many people worked from home and there was mass testing and stay-at-home orders and such. So, I'm saying, it could have been even worse.
- vkou 4y agoIn short, you had a lockdown that was more severe than anything in the United States.
- guerrilla 4y agoNo, that's not the impression I have, but I wasn't in the US at the time. It was definitely more liberal than anywhere in Europe for sure though. Don't you remember all the articles about how Sweden is "doing nothing"?
