All this approach we took did was prolong the inevitable, and destroy our economy temporarily.
Sweden is anticipated to have 10584 deaths by August 14 with a population of only 10 million. The US is 33 times larger which would then have approximately 349000 using their model.
I wouldn’t call that a success.
