The article by Ramesh Thakur is good, but the rejoinder by Dipankar Gupta is not. NYC is a sterling example of lockdown ineffectiveness, protecting young low-risk people while exposing older high-risk people.
"For harsh lockdowns to be justified elsewhere, Sweden had to be discredited ... As of Friday, Sweden’s death per million people was 576, compared to 557 for the US overall, ... NJ 1,804, NY 1,696, MA 1,296, CT 1,252, LA 1,048, and DC 857." -Ramesh Thakurhttps://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/toi-edit-page/the-true-picture-has-sweden-emerged-as-paragon-or-pariah-in-the-corona-sweepstakes/ …

Not only Sweden. Also Manaus, Egypt, Pakistan, India's slums didn't lockdown and reached herd immunity already

This is a terrible article. "Through all this, New York stands out as a sterling example of an effective lockdown." This is an ill-informed, and frankly insane POV.

The article by Ramesh Thakur is good, but yes, the rejoinder (that you quote) by Dipankar Gupta is terrible.

Sweden is still on the list of countries from which the UK requires returning travelers to self-isolate. I can’t see any reason for this other than to avoid the embarrassing headlines that removing it would generate - no quarantine for the only country that didn’t lockdown!

The Germans lifted the restrictions on travel to/from Sweden months ago. Not sure what the UK is doing. Doubt they know it themselves. A clear-cut case of "Show me your leader and I'll tell you what's gone wrong"...?
