The comparison with other "nordic" countries seems arbitrary. If we go by latitude, why is there such a huge variance in death rates between Belgium, France, Netherlands and Germany?
The biggest factor is probably outbreaks in retirement homes. I think you can make the argument that the strategy failed to protect these elderly people, but it might also be the conditions in these facilities that are to blame.
- l33tman 6y agoYes, in Sweden the problem was the nursing homes and they were run (and still are run) badly. The other measures that could have been done (within the covid response itself) would probably not have helped this, goes the argument (but certainly a major overhaul of how the nursing homes are staffed and run would have helped - that would never have been possible in the short timeframe though).
