The US shut schools, forced businesses to close, isolated families, trashed the economy and compounded the national debt. But we saved lives - right? Not based on the statistics we didn’t. Sweden has a population of 10.23 million and 14,267 Covid deaths. We have a population of 328.2 million and 584,000 Covid deaths. That’s .0014 of Sweden’s population and .0018 of the US population...
One thing for sure “you can’t win for losing with Covid”.
We can Monday night quarterback but it won’t change the out come of the game.....all we can do is learn from this. I truly feel if we weren’t so divided as a nation we would have walked through this 100% better
