- nostromo 6y agoThank you both for checking the sources. Yes, the tweet is saying Sweden is 60% better than the US in terms of daily deaths. The source for claiming immunity is temporary is also just a link to some random tweet with no data. I flagged the article as it’s making pretty big claims based on no real data and a misunderstood tweet.
- lacker 6y agoThe referenced tweet is not the main point, the main source is the Financial Times article talking about cases rather than deaths, so I think the main points raised by the post are still valid.
