Common sense went on vacation sometime in March 2020.
It seems to be an extended vacation and it is not certain when it will return.
Lockdowns seem to be counterproductive. They solve nothing. Instead they extend the life of the virus and prolong the pandemic. They could have maximized the global death toll. The only positive is that they may reduce the load on the hospitals.
The two areas where Sweden got it wrong were:
- they did not restrict infection sources from reaching the care homes, and
- they locked up the elderly in their “infected prisons”
But all the rest they did right.
