Sweden said it didn't need a lockdown because people could be trusted
- tomohawk 7y agoThey're still in the "we'll see" category. According to the data, they're at 78 deaths per million https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-covid-deaths-per-million https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-covid-deaths-per-mi... This compares reasonably well with other countries with trustworthy data. Not as good as the US (50/million), but certainly better than France (187/million), Italy (300+/million) and Spain (300+/million). The curve of their daily deaths does not look too bad. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/daily-covid-deaths-3-day-average?country=GBR+ESP+ITA+KOR+SWE+DEU https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/daily-covid-deaths-3-day-... Of the European countries in that chart, Germany looks like it is doing the best. It has 8x the population of Sweden.
- econcon 7y agoI read in some article that if you died and if in postmortem it's found that you died of Coronavirus, Germany doesn't add it to their Coronavirus death statistics. Basically they only include the death which were confirmed Coronavirus cases before death occured.
