Sweden - the world's cautionary tale
-
Sure, they're willing to sacrifice more of their citizens in order to stay open. That's not a trade-off that's impossible to understand. There is value in maintaining an open society, regardless of any dubious assertion that there is no economic benefit to it as compared to a lock down. If the Swedes want to stay the course with an open society, I respect that. I won't be among those trying to heap shame on them. I am curious what the discussion is like among the citizens there.

Because they're all dead? Has anybody heard from a Swede lately? Maybe someone should pick up a phone.

That's cool. What do you make of it, Loki?
I only have no clue. It’s a mystery because compared to Norway and Finland they are bad. So if they re-shut down it would be massively quick. Or they test less?
