> Sweden's gamble made very little sense when it was made. I will say one thing for Anders, his position is that if you make this gamble, you must stick with it. There is no point taking such a gamble and then chickening out after a week or two as some countries did. That makes sense, but it was a bad gamble.
There was a huge part of our deaths that were caused by lack of protection and procedures in the elderly homes at the start of the outbreak. This isolated event skews the numbers very much. Looking at the whole picture where we're approaching something around 50% immunity (T-cell plus antibodies). Compare this to nations around us experiencing second and third waves and not getting close to our immunity numbers. But sure, you can look at the numbers as they are, I wouldn't judge you, it's too bad that such an outlier event has such power on the numbers though.
