Here is the Swedish infection rate for that time, and after - it appears to increasing...
Here is another scientist’s view of Prof Wood’s paper.

I think that with the benefit of hindsight, lock-down bought time, especially for the NHS, while the boffins were able to work on cures/treatments to reduce deaths.
Also had we not locked down, the vulnerable people would have had seriously higher death numbers.

Re: Coronavirus
In June 2019 the UK consumed £5 millions worth of Tea, Coffee & biscuits.
In June 2020 during lockdown this rose to £19 million.
Thats a lot of tea breaks

I was referring to the time period March to June - as Prof Wood was in his paper.
What’s your point?
Oh, look what happened about 4 hrs ago.

Yeah. That’s annoying, I’m going to play golf there in 4 weeks. But, whatever, I’ll still be going no matter.

Re: Coronavirus
Be aware the 14 day isolation is worse than the lockdown in terms of what you're allowed to do.

Oops, thanks, corrected, an over-enthusiastic spell-checker! A fallow furrow.

AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine could still be available by the end of the year, or early next year, according to the company’s chief executive, Pascal Soriot, despite clinical trials being paused after a volunteer fell ill.
AstraZeneca and Oxford University, which are jointly developing the vaccine and testing it on 50,000 to 60,000 people around the world, halted trials on Wednesday to investigate the “potentially unexpected illness” of one participant.

Re: Coronavirus
After listening to the litany of changes of lockdown in the UK on the BBC I'm completely confused.I'm wondering how many others are.

I’m sure a second lockdown would be more irritating.
