At Least Germany Tried With Covid

And Sweden had more deaths per million population than Germany, and a younger population.
OP FAIL.
OP FAIL.
"Talk about killjoys. While the rest of us are enjoying what’s starting to feel like a return to everyday life, some experts are warning that there’s another COVID-19 variant coming. Philadelphia has reinstituted its mask mandate. The wave of new infections in Europe will hit us soon, they say, and failing to maintain at least some of the lockdowns we’ve endured for the last two years is “denialism.” That message is echoed by the People’s CDC, a group of epidemiologists, doctors, and other people with long COVID. They argue that the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation to focus on protecting those at the highest risk and a return to “normal” for everybody else is precisely the wrong course of action.
But is it?
While most countries imposed draconian restrictions, there was an exception: Sweden. Early in the pandemic, Swedish schools and offices closed briefly but then reopened. Restaurants never closed. Businesses stayed open. Kids under 16 went to school. "

The U.S. botched the pandemic—overprotecting kids at low risk of serious illness and under-protecting older Americans. Stockholm pursued a light touch and fared far better.

Bless your little heart.
What about when Berlin and Bavaria required N95s while the rest of germany only required cloth masks and both epi curves were identical to sweden?
Have you considered taking a step back and thinking critically for a few minutes about what you believe wrt covid?
Can you just tell me, do you believe that population density plays a factor in deaths from Covid? Because average age is sort of close enough (Sweden is younger.) Healthcare is close. Why do you think the death rates are the same in those two places when Germany has, again, 10x the population density of Sweden?"Talk about killjoys.

Why would population density play a factor in the rate of death?
Wouldn't the similar rates also point to the fact that regardless of policies the death rate did not vary between two European countries?
