On: The Sweden experiment: how no lockdowns led to men...

While I don't doubt you have Swedish family, I would like to see your data for the French economy being "killed". Certainly the economy contracted somewhat, but they seem to be doing just fine now.

France has increased its public debt enormously (100% to 120% of its GDP). Maintaining the economy had a cost which may have serious consequences.

Isn’t the interest rate close to 0%? If, like in 1918, they come back stronger than places which had more disruption due to deaths and prolonged closures that’s not anywhere near a crushing level of debt for a rich nation-state with a diverse economy.

At the cost of an enormous additional debt.

Also "just fine" is still not pre-pandemic levels so we'll have to see in a year or two.

this comment shows how half of the West's population has entered a foreign dimension.

Do you really think the economy only "contracted somewhat"?

Can we trust any statistics from people that depend on them to be good?

[eurasiantiger → Nemrod67]

We absolutely cannot trust anything claimed by the crooks in power.
