How convenient of you to ignore all the weeks prior to "the past several" as in: significantly higher mortality rates than any of its neighbours.
And the end result? Worst recession since WWII.
- nradov 6y agoAlmost all countries are in a recession now. Sweden appears to be performing most of it's neighbors. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/08/06/899776725/sweden-records-largest-gdp-drop-since-1980-but-outperforms-many-other-eu-countri https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/0...
- dmitriid 6y agoOnce again, you conveniently choose to ignore everything but the past week or so. How about "Sweden has the largest recession since WWII. The largest single quarter drop in the directly comparable time series. The drop (8.6%) is barely above EU average (11.9%), and the economy is expected to drop another 4-10% by October. They achieved this incredible economic feat by sacrificing 10 to 15 times the number of people compared to neighbours."
