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...
Try comparing Finland's death rate to the US's. As of May 12, 2021, Finland had ONLY 930 CV deaths. 939 / Finlands population of 5,548,360 equals .00017 ..........MUCH lower than the US! It shows what the US COULD have done with social intelligence and leadership more like a REAL country!
