This even shows up in countries that had lax lockdowns vs. strict lockdowns: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.LE00.IN?end=2020&locations=SE-AU-ES-US&start=2008 https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.LE00.IN?end=2020... This data next year will be very telling to see the true efficacy of strict lockdowns (I suspect very effective at preventing death since vaccines arrived so quickly). Australia data should be interesting next year (very strict to very lax after vaccines).
