A lockdown is not the only thing to consider though. Most that died from Covid-19 seem to have underlying conditions, of which obesity is a major one. Coronavirus risk: 90% of patients had underlying conditions Another important stat to take into account could then be the different rates of obesity in USA (36.2%, 12th highest in the world) vs Sweden (20.6%, 97th from the top).
