> Sweden, which had a much more liberal policy
I don't see how that follows. In fact the bulk of US cases and deaths right now are happening in states with limited mitigations very much along the lines of what was happening in Sweden. The US has stricter rules in some areas, and most of those (in particular the northeast) are showing much better control of the outbreak than Sweden.
- henrikschroder 6y agoMassachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island all have a total covid-19 death rate that's more than 2x that of Sweden. Currently, the average daily cases is 5x higher in Rhode Island than in Sweden, 3x higher in Connecticut than in Sweden, and 2x higher in Massachusetts than in Sweden. The current daily covid-19 death rate in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island is higher than in Sweden. How the hell can you claim that that is "much better control" with a straight face? (And I didn't even need to bring up NY or NJ to find US states in the northeast that are doing much worse than Sweden.) https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covid19-death-rates-us-by-state/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covi... https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/connecticut/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/connecticut/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/massachusetts/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/massachusetts/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/rhode-island/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/rhode-island/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/
