If lockdowns don't work, why is Sweden totally reversing their policy in regards to how they're handling the pandemic? They started with the fewest restrictions, and are rapidly reversing that.

Man... why could that be...

International pressure

Sweden actually did have a similar lockdown as we did. It's just that population is actually smart and forward thinking so they didn't have to make it illegal. They just did the responsible thing and closed on their own. There's plenty of interviews with Swedish citizens who are like "what? are you stupid. Things are not going as normal. We're locked down"

This is false. Sweden refused to lock down, they continued to allow large gatherings, standard business proceeded as usual. As a result, they've experienced the exact same surge in caseload as everyone who did lock down. Meaning they suffered no worse, and fared no better.

Sweden is the case in point that martial lawn doesn't resolve a cold.

Allowing large gatherings doesnt mean they are happening. Sweden is far more responsible and compliant so a government mandated shutdown wasnt needed. The people just did it themselves.

I just said this but you're slow so I'm repeating it

You're not helping your case. Perhaps you should have pointed out my typos.

It turns out you don't need to resort to draconian measures. Just let the populace know what's going on, and they'll behave in their own interests.

I get that confuses you. But as a medical school dropout, you believe you have the authority to dictate other people's lives. Sorry mate. Go fuck yourself. :)
