What, no context?
The disparate outcomes on the graph, of course, reflect the disparate policies.
That is in fact not a fact. The US and Sweden followed completely different policies and yet have fairly comparable rates. That basically torpedoes the argument that the lock downs helped "lower the curve."
Sweden also didn't suffer nearly the economic pain that the US did. The victims of the Corona virus also include the 40 million people who are out of work due to the poor judgments of some governors.
The U.S.’s policy was much, much more like Sweden’s than either country’s was like Norway’s. If the U.S. had begun quarantining in Jan/Feb instead of dithering for months, we’d already be over the worst effects in terms of health and the economy.
Sweden suffered a severe economic contraction as did every capitalist country.

Nothing like we suffered here. Most businesses were still up and running. Now that the pandemic is winding down, Sweden doesn't have economic devastation in its wake.
Wrong.
Analysts forecast?
The economic crash was an inevitability, Covid or no Covid, lockdown or no lockdown.
