Seems like a sentence like the following ought to have been in this piece, just for context:

“On a per-capita basis, Sweden far outpaces its Scandinavian neighbors in COVID deaths, with 567 deaths per million people compared with Denmark’s 106 deaths per million, Finland’s 59 deaths per million, and Norway’s 47 deaths per million. The Swedish figure is closer to Italy’s 581 deaths per million.”

American COVID was purposely used as a political tool since day one and still is.

There is speculation that, because the disease was allowed to spread more freely among those least vulnerable, Swedes may already benefit from a degree of herd immunity.

This is what I’m curious about. Wondering if Sweden might be more likely to avoid a second wave than the other Scandinavian countries.

I'd love to see a group of respected...and HONEST...researchers publish a detailed review and analysis of Sweden's Wuhan Flu policy in The New England Journal of Medicine or The Lancet.

But the first question is...what would the editors of either publication do if they were in receipt of such a work?

First, if the only US “news” channel that goes outside US is CNN, conversely, how do patriots really know for sure what is going on outside US?

Regarding Sweden's herd immunity, it sounds like the following earlier Coronavirus-related testing results disappointed somebody.

Sweden Coronavirus Herd Immunity Attempt Failing: Only 7.3% Of Population Have Antibodies

Next, regarding Sweden possibly being more likely to avoid high death numbers in a second COVID-19 wave thanks to herd immunity, if most or all high-risk people were killed in Sweden's first wave anyway, I don’t know that fewer people dying in a possible second wave is something to brag about.

Corrections, insights welcome.

US GDP wasn’t down 33%. It was down 9.2% for the quarter.

That sounds, to a mere layman, like a story of success, not failure. And, if the “socialist Swedes” have found a pandemic strategy that works, we have to ask: why are their “progressive” allies around the world afraid to admit it?

Some of the thickest irony you'll ever see.
