Worth noting the truly spectacular achievement of the Australian state of Victoria, which went from 500 daily COVID-19 cases in mid-July to NO cases and NO deaths today In the same time period, France went from 500 daily cases to 50,000 cases and 100s of deaths today

Achievement as in eliminating covid at this point: agree. Achievement in more broad and long term perspective (total health, economic, society impact): doubtful and time will tell

Neighbour, there’s a decent chance that the impacts of COVID suppression policies on influenza alone will outweigh the health costs of the lockdowns. The rest is more complex, but Sweden vs the rest of Scandinavia doesn’t scream “lockdowns cause more economic harm”, for example.

Apples and oranges are not directly comparable we all know. Except they are both fruits, both round..oh I guess you can make some comparisons even if they also have differences. Darn, you have to go beyond elementary school logic sometimes.
