And all this time it was preached to us here that everything was better in Sweden
It looks like Sweden's laissez faire Covid policy is catching up:

We still might find out it is better in Sweden.
Everyone seems to accept the idea that cases will rise, maybe very
rapidly when they lift the lock down. The question is whether Sweden
still looks that bad after the dust settles from that. One thing that
is sure. Their economy will emerge in much better shape and they won't
have racked up the debt most countries did.
They are still doing better than most of Europe, in spite of that
misleading headline.
Per capita deaths
Belgium 797.4
Spain 594.52
Italy 532.32
United Kingdom531.53
France 417.83
Sweden 367.57
....
United States 280.59
What? Based on that, Trump is doing a great job!

That's mostly true except for his unending bull **** and messenger
shootings. The stats for New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Massachusetts are not nearly as rosy however.

That is why we won't rent a room to them. ;-)
I am waiting to hear the backlash from that but it does seem to be a
reasonable policy.
