No, they are not. Look at countries I mentioned above.
Your graph has no axis that would reflect meassures that were implemented, it compares deaths with economic impact, so it can hardly be a proof of whether strict meassures work or not.
The opposite is true. If we look at number of new cases in the last 14 days, countries with focus on few basic meassures (e.g. distancing) are doing better than countries with severe restrictions.
