This is proving not to be an issue in Sweden or any of the places that have already opened up their economies. Flattening the curve was a myth potentially.

This is proving not to be an issue in Sweden or any of the places that have already opened up their economies.
Flattening the curve was a myth potentially.
- DanBC 6y agoThe very high death rate in Sweden suggests otherwise.
- nickthemagicman 6y agoSweden's death rate is below Italy UK Spain and Belgium all of which enacted full quarantines. Not sure why you're giving incomplete and somewhat sensational fear inducing information.
- EdwardCoffin 6y agoJust barely below, if you look at the NYT per capita rankings [1]. The full quarantines were also enacted too late. [1] https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/world/coronavirus-maps.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/world/coronavirus-m...
- nickthemagicman 6y agoAnd? The exponential explosion of infections that was used as the model to justify quarantine and flattening the curve did not happen in Sweden. As a matter of fact it's on par with other countries that have full lockdowns which indicates quarantine is ineffective.
