given Ferguson was prediction 500K deaths I think we can say that the

Wasn't that if we "did nothing". But we did 'something'.

A similar prediction was also made for Sweden.

Who had social distancing and PPE policies. But a lack of lockdown has

Voluntary policies. They treated their population as adults, not naughty
children who needed to be coralled at home.

And look how successful that was.

Actually, not bad compared to the "take no action at all" scenario, even
though they nevertheless have the worst figures in Europe.

Which 'they' are you referring to in that statement?

Sweden.

Presumably not Sweden, whose figures are better than the UK.

But are significantly worse than other r27 countries.

Rubbish. You'll have to cite the scientific paper that supports that fake
statistic. Or did you just make it up?

Meanwhile, in the real world, Sweden has the fifth-worst figures in Europe.
We are second-worst.

Further proof if any more was needed that lockdown was a pointless exercise
that has achieved little other than to kill the economy. France had Spain both
had a far stricter lockdown than us yet have fared little better. And its
unlikely to be down to social distancing and PPE since Spain also went for 2m
and AFAIK people had to wear masks in shops. There's something much more subtle
at work IMO.
