Look at the UK compared with other "First World Countries."
Makes Sweden and the US look good.
And then, there's Israel, Norway and Iceland.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Righteous shaming of those who countenance such ideas is enough to silence them. Heck, we can't even get past using global IFRs rather than age stratified. It's not that people are too dumb to know the difference, it's that they're too ideologically motivated.

That bloke yesterday was saying Britain was doing better than the US. What a difference day makes - and actual data rather than some bloke pontificating.
The UK really fucked up the nursing home situation.
Not to make things too personal, but I was over there in March. My mum was in hospital with a broken hip, and was moved to a nursing home with apparently no consideration whatsoever towards Covid. I was quite surprised at the time, and more than a little concerned. They locked everything down a week later, but I guess too late for many.
I was only joking

I think there are far more things in play in these statistics than shutdown or not. Awfully difficult to judge them.

Yes, this is clearly true.

A couple of months ago, when US cases started to spike, he tweeted "American exceptionalism."
That didn't age well, did it?

Nobody likes a smug limey.
Or so I've heard.
