Australopithecus said: “The Swedish laissez-faire model has resulted in a higher per-capita death rate ...“


While it seems intuitively to be the case, that statement is not proven and shouldn’t be stated with such authority. It may be correct or it may not be.

Sweden’s death rate while higher than its immediate neighbours is still lower than the UK, Belgium, Germany, Spain and Italy... all of whom locked down. Some other countries that did NOT lock down such as South Korea, Taipei and others have really low death rates.

Correlation does not prove causation.
