Sweden's hospitals were never saturated despite no lockdown. Italy's hospitals are saturated every flu season.

Hospitals are saturated, because we want to keep these people alive for few more months. Younger people don't need hospitalization.

You are in car crash, too bad hospitals are only admitting people with covid. This is current situation in Poland.

Sweden did not need lockdown because, like Asia, people there were more disciplined. Numbers show road traffic dropped significantly during the first semester : people stayed home without being ordered to. Some culture will never do that by themselves.

Youngers are less affected but some absolutely do need hospitalization. Reality is not as black or white as you're making it.

The situation is like that in Poland ... and the solution is geronticide ?

Belarus didn't do lockdown just like Sweden and had the same result. Are Belorussians also disciplined?

Correct solution is to treat covid like very strong flu.
