I think the path may have been overreaching. At a certain point
Sweden's idea may not turn out to be that horrible. If you are just
flattening the curve but dragging out the misery for 2 years and
ending up pretty much where you would have been if you took less
draconian measures, was that the right path?
Would a less draconian path had less impact on the economy?
We really won't know until this is over but at our present trajectory
that could be years. The question will be if there is an economy left
to reopen. I know business people who said they were prepared for a
rainy day but this is Noah's flood and if you remember that fable,
only 2 of every species survived. Every other living thing died.
I think flattening the curve allowed the medics to catch up and keep up with
the demand for their services and use of their facilities. Nobody was able
to come up with a plan to do this without damaging the economy. Politics
might have stood in the way of managing this pandemic better. And that's
very sad to even imagine.
