Here in UK our 'experts' dithered over lockdown or herd immunity, and look what that did for us, and our hospitals were not overwhelmed either.
The curve may be nearly the same, but the numbers show that early lockdown reduced cases substancially.

Your response (first sentence) to the "Sweden never locked down" comment was correct. Unfortunately, those that keep making that statement don't want to acknowledge your sensible reply because it debunks their belief that the "lockdown" was useless or some political conspiracy. Just MHO.
