The same data source also shows that Sweden's per-capita death rates are lower than Spain and Italy, which had full scale lockdowns.

They had lockdowns after country systems were completely overwhelmed. Up to inability to handle dead people in some places.

Their situations was strong argument for other countries to lock down much sooner.

The question is whether locking down sooner actually solves the problem. As Melbourne heads into another 6 weeks of lockdown, I'm growing skeptical.
