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...
Sweden did make a TERRIBLE mistake!!!!!!! When you compare them to their comparable sister countries like Finland, Denmark, and Norway, then Sweden has a DEATH rate ten times higher or more! The US can NOT be compared to the Scandinavian countries because THEY have the MUCH SUPERIOR health care system! The US has superior Universities and good Doctors and medical knowledge, but the care that TRICKLES DOWN to the average US person is PATHETIC. Look at the world lists, the US is around 35th in health categories. If you don't have good medical insurance or NO medical insurance, see how well you are treated! Slovenia, for example, is much higher on the world lists than the US. Look it up - if you don't believe me!
