When this all began, the right-wing caught the ‘Sweden fever’. Sweden was such a model for the world. Why shut down everything…that’s not what Sweden is doing. I wish someone would go back and do an analysis of how many segments Fox News did, praising Sweden.
Well, even before this article, it was obvious that Sweden’s approach was whack.
Never forgot this when I read it, and so, I keep on repeating it:
Take Sweden’s five closest neighbors.
Add up their COVID-19 Deaths.
TRIPLE THAT.
And, that is Sweden’s COVID-19 death toll -ALONE.
Uh huh.
Uh huh.
What a model.

More than three months later, the coronavirus is blamed for 5,420 deaths in Sweden, according to the World Health Organization. That might not sound especially horrendous compared with the more than 129,000 Americans who have died. But Sweden is a country of only 10 million people. Per million people, Sweden has suffered 40% more deaths than the United States, 12 times more than Norway, seven times more than Finland and six times more than Denmark.
