This is an arbitrary distinction to compare Sweden to Norway(who also had no mask mandate), cherry picked to fit your narrative. Sweden had deaths on par with the average of all of European countries less than Italy, Spain, the UK, etc.

Take in mind that the family structure is different in South and North Europe. Southern Europe homes are often multigenerational. Having gransons and grandpas living together increases the risk. Many granpas live alone in Swedden. Their results would be even worse if we remove this structural difference. If we can't compare Swedden With Norway, maybe you would prefer Denmark? 645 danish killed versus 5875 Sweddish. Even if we correct the difference in population, is still much lower (around 1290 versus 5875). They are not much different populations genetically. Do you have any hypothesis that would explain the difference?

  Wheres your evidence that Italy has more multigenerational households than Sweden? Do you have a citation? That's scientifically unsubstantiated and almost like you made it up on the spot based on anecdotal information. Also, you're cherry picking again to suit your narrative. Sweden is part of Europe and should be compared as such. It's disingenuous to keep promoting this demon-ization of Sweden narrative with unsubstantiated, and cherry picked comments. Sweden did the right thing. Other countries did not. It's that simple.

    You can find easily those data in Eurostat of course, that is the official channel for those things in EU. Mean age of youngsters leaving parental home to live in their own home. Data from 2019: - Italy: 30.1 Years old. - European Union: 26.2 Years old - Swedden: 17.8 Years old. So... Yes, definitely I would say that they are very different societies. This, most probably, saved Swedden several deaths. > Sweden is part of Europe and should be compared as such. For your information, Czechia is an European country, same as Denmark

      Sounds like that would be an easy graph to draw. Correlate all of the countries covid death per capita with age youngsters leave the home. See if that's a valid observation and holds true across countries... or just a single data point that you pulled out of thin air. Have there been any actual studies to support this hypothesis or are you making this up to support your narrative? It seems to be just an endless rabbit hole of unsubstantiated correlations and cherry picking.

        Too busy watching Susanna Hoffs videos in internet currently, (I prefer to choose my own rabbit holes, thanks), but I will make all this studies next year, all of then, each one. Maybe. If I'm very bored. Mortally bored. I promise. (Homework for the weekend?... LOL, who do you think I am? your secretary?)

        I would just think someone would want to be accurate with their facts is all.
