    Yes, but that estimate was if no lockdown was enforced and no social distancing rules were applied. So a bit different. A worst-case scenario if the government did nothing and just let the virus run.

    People aren’t that stupid though, although we do seem to have more here than in say Sweden, which as we all know had no lockdown but does have SD. Interesting that a Norway now think there lockdown might have been too severe and done more harm than good.

    Sweden has the highest death rate per capita at one point

    Their society is more naturally socially distanced than ours too which is why it wasn't worse.

    We don't know the whole story yet, but as i've previously said 90% of the deaths in Sweden are the over 70's
    Very poor decisions have cost their lives mostly in the Stockholm region where incompetence seems to have been very high.
    And as per usual the head advisor on the pandemic was seen sitting at a bar close to other people not following his own advise.
