It looks like Sweden's laissez faire Covid policy is catching up:

I understand most are still in the nursing homes. Maybe they should
have locked them down tighter but the real tell will be when they get
over the hump and start reducing the toll. They are the test fir not
"flattening the curve" and a year or two from now they may actually
look pretty good with a solid herd immunity while the other folks in
Europe are still bleeding as they are trying to get back to normal and
rebuild their shattered economies..

And all this time it was preached to us here that everything was better in Sweden

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

.....
United States 280.59

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.

The left always likes to bash the US, particularly if they don't hold
the White House and both houses of congress.

These "scare you all the time" people don't bother to say they are
comparing the absolute number of deaths in the US to a country the
size of Wyoming with the population of New Jersey.

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.
