None of Sweden’s near neighbors—Norway, Finland and Denmark—are seeing spikes either. All three locked down and avoided the huge losses of life Sweden suffered.MikeDamone said: -

It's almost like you can't read or something. And the source is Newsweek. Not exactly Red State or OAN.HHusky said:

It's one data point out of many, but it's a useful comp. Nothing can ever be held constant, but these four countries are at least homogenous enough between each other to attempt to draw some conclusions. Sweden had 10-20x the deaths, but frankly the raw numbers seem to be a hell of a trade off for not shutting down your country. How these numbers would scale up to a country like the US, where there are a lot more variables at play, is the million dollar question. -
Sweden has a population of around 10mil and a death total of 5739. The US is 328mil. if you take Swedens deaths and multiply by 32.8 you get a total of 188K deaths. Even with New York and New Jerseys incompetence (48K combined deaths) the US sits at 154K deaths. Extrapolating Swedens total cases would give us 26mil people infected. If the US doesn't shut down but puts a governor on the disease other countries would have followed suit and the world economy would be in a much better place today than it is. Swedens economy has still shrunk because Europeans are too afraid to visit and everyone is not buying those cool, hand made Swedish leather shoes because they have no income. If not for being an election year I feel the US plan would have been more homogenous. Keep the economy open, keep the children in some form of in person school, protect the elderly and wash your hands instead of Mask up!, Stay Home, Stay Safe and Alone Together. @GreenRiverGatorz you are correct, the variables are far too many to take into account. This is grocery math. Don't twist.
