Which is behind countries who locked down, wore masks etc.

ALSO - numbers are skewed because very early on the virus got into their nursing homes in Stockholm and was serious. Once that was contained, their numbers are in line or better than the neighbors.

If you watch both videos, you will see that they are doing somewhat better than some neighboring countries right now, and somewhat worse than a few others.

Simple conclusion is that their way has at the very least been no worse.


It's my understanding that Sweden is not having a second wave unless cases have recently started to go up. A month or two ago it was reported that almost no new infections were coming into medical facilities for treatment. I'll be interested to see how the Swedes fare compared to their neighbors during the winter. I fully expect their new cases and deaths from Covid to be much much lower than the rest of Europe during the winter and for neighboring countries to surpass Swedens death rate per 100K. Herd Immunity works. It is how we get through each flu season.
