I would posit that the area under the curve for the countries with prolong shutdowns may wind up being greater than those like Sweden who tore the bandaide off quickly.

While the long lockdown might possibily result in some lower ultimate Covid mortality, the total mortality from other causes due to lockdown may wind up being higher (suicide, deferred medical care, shortened life span for all age groups following lay-offs).

I only question your use of the word "may".
We will never know the cost in lives of Covid as they LIE like crazy
They will do the same thing with suicides, domestics, uptick in Cancer/heart attacks/ other pernicious diseases due to lack of proper medical access.

heh, I was hedging and softening that a bit for those here who might yet believe that the mandatory shutdown has been in any way beneficial.
