It’s not true that there weren’t any measures in Sweden – there were quite a few – and it’s also not true that countries like Germany are still in lockdown. They are not.
Only the US with its absurd mishandling of the virus is in this self-inflicted state of permanent-panic.
So, let's break it down. He said "...unless you imagine scenarios where the rest of the countries have huge moralities due to second wave".
And you're reading it as "without acknowledging that they will soon be passed by many countries who continue to have lots of new cases and deaths".
So, let's compare them. He presented it as a hypothetical about the future, and you presented it as fact about the future. So, the same sentiment, except you don't have the grounds for it. On top of that, you read it, and claimed he said the the opposite of what he did.
I'm left wondering if you didn't understand what he said, or perhaps have a different idea of what "obtuse" means. I'm not sure. In any case, I don't really need an answer, as I'm sure we are done here.
