New study: countries with strict lockdowns had worse health and economic results | Eastern NC Now

A new academic study prepared by two professors at Lund Univeristy in Sweden and published in  the Economic Affairs Journal has shown that countries using stricter lockdowns in dealing with the Covid 19 pandemic had worse results, both in terms of health and of economic impact than countries with lighter or no lockdowns.  The study compared the number of excessive deaths in each country during the pandemic, and found that there were more excess deaths in countries with strict lockdowns than in countries with no or lesser lockdowns.  It also compared changes in GDP and found that countries with lighter lockdowns fared better economicly as well.
