Ah yes, Sweden. Where the death rate is three times higher than the recovery rate. We should all aspire for such eye popping statistics.

Well, Sweden is more free than the USA.
Maybe we are a herd...
We coulda done that...and still have an economy. Maybe Sweden will be the new master of the universe?
I’m thinking Swedish bikini team!
Well, that’s the term that’s been used since forever, frequently in the context of vaccinations.
They are also not as fat as we are. The Chinese Flu targets certain physiology.
Yeah. Kind of like reproductive health. Another dehumanization term. Commies love that stuff.
Glad somebody chose to be the ‘canary in the coalmine’
Currently, their death rate (per capita in general, not per infected) is roughly the same as ours. We’ll see.
Knock off the F-bomb.
Sweden’s approach was not possible with a Republican president facing a re-election. Whether it was Right or wrong is not relevant, it was impossible.
I don’t disagree with what Sweden did, but their number of deaths per million are higher than in the US.

The US shut down has been political. The press and the dems are using it as a weapon against Trump and as a leap forward in collectivism.
Likely Trump will come out of this with a roaring economy by July 4, and a B+ grade in handling the outbreak. Personally I would give him an A for action all while holding off the press hyenas.
The US is 33 times larger in population than Sweden. So multiplying the current number of deaths, 1,540, by 33 and you get 50,820 compared to the 40,555 deaths in the US. So about 25% more deaths, but the impact on the economy is far less.
Yes, they lost a lot of Swedes born in Somalia, Yemen, Syria, etc. Read on:

These are good graphs:
You can add countries. You could add Belgium.
Fair point.
We had damn near 80,000 deaths in 2017 flu season AND our economy was not destroyed!!
