1. ICU in Sweden never reached full capacity.

2. I have yet to see convincing graphs that look like a flattened curve, namely, slow rise followed by prolonged peak. (excluding prolonged peaks that arose from delayed timeline in different regions).

3. In some US states, fear of collapsed hospitals (panic) resulted in sending infected elderly back from hospitals to nursing homes, seeding infection. That caused many deaths in nursing homes.

4. The cost of panic was deaths -- by numerous pathways.
