RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Leonard Nemoy in 1979Sorry, your opinions aren't backed up by any scientific data. Are you reading these from a journalist or a medical study? I already told you Scandinavian countries differ for many reasons, some cited below, not because of lockdowns. Waiting too long or opening to soon are just rationalizations when you realize the numbers don't work in your favour. It's like the ice age story that leonard nemoy told us, the constant switcheroo that you keep nodding and clapping to like a seal. Sorry, the data doesn't support it. You know what does matter? Stopping all flights from China, e.g. taiwan, with JUST SEVEN total deaths. When trump tried to shut down chinese flights they called him a racist, and the dems started "hug a chinese" campaigns to "stop the xenophobia", and so people went to chinatowns in huge numbers for chinese new years. But people tend to forget little tidbits like that, how convenient. The WHO and CDC said there was no need to worry, leave everything open, Fauci was saying this is nothing to worry about, but smarter governments like Taiwan learned from SARS that china lies, so for any hint of an outbreak they stop all flights. I also won't pretend to know why the rate is higher in states than in Canada because I didn't study the data as much here, but my guess would be that policies like putting COVID infected patients in nursing homes and killing thousands of elderly as a result, like the governor in NY did, may have something to do with it. So yes, enjoy your lockdowns, don't worry you can join your line 3 protests via zoom to reduce your carbon footprint.

Sweden should or could have had numbers like it's scandanavian neighbours but it doesn't because it went full ostrich like you.
Italy, France, UK, waited too long to lockdown and opened too soon after locking down.
How do explain the difference in numbers between the USA and Canada?
The USA with their superior medical system should have way less deaths per capita than Canada
They don't. They are almost triple. Why? Lockdowns in Canada country wide.
Am I enjoying my lockdown? You're damn right I am.

Italy - 1,263/mil / UK 1,121 / France 1,014 / Switzerland 923. See how easy it is to find other countries that had unforgiving lockdowns and still ended up worse than sweden? Hahah, way to cherry pick there bud. And there are many factors that affected sweden more than Scandinavian countries and two of the most cited in MEDICAL journals, if you read them, are much higher elderly population in sweden, plus a very mild flu season in 2019. If you don't like the answer, take it up with the studies. But the numbers don't care about your feelings. Lockdowns don't work, it is not up for debate, the science is there and the numbers don't lie
