You're mixing apples and oranges here with mortality data and case spread. But re. mortality, are your claims accounting for age-adjustment as well as prevalence of co-morbidities? Also wondering about how new this all still is. Current studies are showing several potential long-range outcomes from infection. It may take a few more years…

Also wondering about how new this all still is. Current studies are showing several potential long-range outcomes from infection. It may take a few more years to see how this pans out in coronary and pulmonary disease as well as cognitive disorders.
Mortality data is the only metric which isn't influenced by unknown confounders, bias, testing rates, etc.
It's a simple and reliable metric to judge population level impact, and was often cited in the MSM in 2020 and 2021 when the early numbers were backing their claims that Sweden was doing it wrong, South Korea doing it right. Now that the data no longer supports that hypothesis, excess death hasn't been cited as much it seems.
I would love to have more detail on comorbidities from these countries and get to go through line-by-line through the death records like we can with CDC, but that information isn't available.
As for the question "well what about the long term consequences", I propose something obvious - if a country has high mortality like South Korea, that country will have a corresponding spike in whatever indirect/long term effects there are. It seems silly to propose that while the masks in South Korea didn't stop them from having a record breaking 100% increase in deaths Spring of 2022, the masks may somehow save them from Long Covid.
