Not even remotely true. https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps There's at least half a dozen of European countries that imposed measures early that are seeing no increase in mortality, (seemingly seeing slight decreases, even)

It seems like a bit of a crapshoot. Some countries had huge spikes in deaths (Spain, Italy obviously, France, Belgium, Netherlands), and some did not (Norway, Hungary, Greece). Sweden's spike is a bit longer and bit flatter than other countries.

I'm not denying that Covid is a real disease that is causing excess death. I'm mainly challenging the narrative that lockdown is the only way to address the problem, that it's to correct approach, or that Sweden's approach is causing some sort of doomsday scenario of mass deaths.
