The economy boomed more with the president before that.

Look at raw gdp growth data and that was without major tax cuts. Nothing proves that the previous US president did anything more than "ride the wave".

Also, debts were greatly increased even before covid and the current president will have to fix that, again...

Additionally, lockdowns have an additional reason, namely to not overload healthcare so the situation doesn't get out of control. While rural areas can play denial, that's not an option for bigger and more dense areas/cities. A lot of hospitals were running on the edge, where >90% of capacity was for covid and delaying all other ( even urgent) surgeries.

Ps. Sweden has a very low population density. Not everything there applies elsewhere.

They even admitted they were wrong with having no lockdowns.
