The difference? Sweden didn't destroy its economy with a shutdown. It was entirely unnecessary.The only countries in Europe with surging cases are Eastern European countries and a few others. Czech Republic, Croatia, etc. Germany, France, Spain, Denmark are all pretty flat. Those countries all had their peaks in April/May as well. Sweden had their peak in July.So don't compare Sweden with all other countries. Only compare it the ones that support your hocus-pocus.Sweden has the largest number of cases and fatalities in Scandinavia—around 37 000 confirmed cases in June , compared with its neighbours Denmark, Norway, and Finland which have 12 000, 8000, and 7000 cases, respectively. All three neighbouring countries adopted a lockdown approach early in the pandemic, which they are now slowly lifting
The herd mentality sacrifices those who are unlucky to get the disease in the hope that immunity will eventually kick in by those who survive. Still compared to outer Scandinavia nations. Sweden has has the larges fatalities. Almost 3 times to 5 times its neighbor who had the lock down. It was a gamble that they made and so far they lost in terms of number of deaths. Lock down reduced the number of fatalities. Yet if you want to go with what is popular then lock down is not popular. So there is a willingness to make sacrifices for the good of those who are doing a happy dance that they survived.
Sorry ,sorry, to bad for those who didn't
What a fucking douchebag you are.
It's still to early to tell what the long term effects will be.Yes their GDP had some modest gains in the first quarter but the gain is modest when compared with those who had the lock down. So it begs the question was it worth it to have such modest gains at the expense of others who died?
Compared to the US
Sweden is a country of only 10 million people. Per million people, Sweden has suffered 40 percent more deaths than the United States,
Yes the US has a larger population and a lot more deaths. but using per capital to compare the two countries with different populations. Sweden percentages is high. If the US had done the same then the death toll would have been greater. Imagine more deaths that what we currently have now.
Sweden central bank is estimating that the economy will contract by 4.5 percent which is a revision from a previously expected gain of 1.3 percent.
Sweden Has Become the World’s Cautionary Tale
