But it wasn’t a mistake. Shutting down in the spring or summer wouldn’t have prevented the fall surge. Many counties are seeing new highs. Germany has new daily covid death highs. You can’t compare Sweden to other Scandinavian counties. They have twice the population and a much larger economy. Regardless, what I said is true. They didn’t see the same kind of economic damage as the United States because they didn’t shut down their economy. That was my point.
They basically had the same recommendations as other countries, they just didn’t make them mandatory, if you can’t compare them to other Scandinavian countries, why are you comparing them to anyone else? We have over three times Sweden’s population.
Sweden has four times as many Covid deaths as Norway, Denmark and Finland combined.
