My comment was related to the post that US GDP contracted by 32% while Sweden's only contracted by 9%.  I simply stated that Sweden didn't shut down their economy the way the United States did, hence, the lack of economic contraction.  That's the only point I was making.  Regardless, most countries are seeing huge spikes in cases and deaths now.  What Sweden did back in the spring has little relevance to what has happened the last month or so.

Why are you comparing Sweden with the US which has over 30 times the population when you won't compare it to the other Scandinavian countries which each have just over half Sweden"s population?

What Sweden did last spring is exactly what you are comparing them to.
