Nick Kollerstrom – March 11, 2021

So, let’s take ‘covid deaths’ (alleged) per million, comparing two groups: High – or stringent- lockdown nations, versus little or no lockdown countries.

Its fair to say these 4 nations have been notable for NOT imposing a lockdown – Sweden, Japan, Nicaragua, Belarus.

– and they have been much rebuked for not doing so.

NB Do you agree, or are there any other nations that should be here included?

Whereas these 5 nations have imposed highly stressful Lockdowns: UK, USA, France, Italy, Spain.

NB Do you agree or are there other nations that should be here included?

OK, are you ready? (drum roll …) the latter group scores SIX TIMES HIGHER covid deaths per million, than the former.

Wow.

Six times higher. …
