Sweden didn't lock down and if you look at the deaths per million they are the lowest in Europe.
Raw infection numbers are scary, but not very telling since testing is far from universal or error free.
Death stats aren't that reliable either. Covid seems to be deadly and a miracle cure at the same time - it's amazing how death rates for other maladies all seem to be dramatically down. I'm sure that is just coincidence.
- pvaldes 6y ago> Sweden didn't lock down and if you look at the deaths per million they are the lowest in Europe. This is False (obviously). Germany: 126 deaths by million Portugal: 247 France: 549 Sweden: 580 Spain: 764
- aedanman 6y agoWell if we all do what Sweden did and apply it to the world population only 39,000,000 people need to die from Covid. Sounds reasonable.
- mlazos 6y agoThis was like maybe true 8 months ago, before Sweden had multiple waves. It’s been false for a while now and I don’t know why everyone keeps saying it. Another comment has the right data. Also if you’re insinuating that other maladies are getting reclassified as covid, you can look at excess deaths and see most countries had more people die in the past six months than usual, and seems to indicate we actually undercount covid deaths (this latter part is for the US)
