Good point, had forgotten about Sweden.

JHU site appears to be down today but as of three days ago, Sweden's death per capita was better than US, Italy, and the UK and was about the same as Brazil. Comparing the country to US states, Sweden is doing better than NY, CA, FL, CT, ND, and SD and about the same as MD and MN.

Had they taken the same approach as all of those we would say they were doing pretty well. Given that they took a much more hands-off approach, they seem to have come through very well.

We'll see what the stats look like when the JHU site comes back up.
