Not "similar", it was the highest per capita death rate in the world alongside the UK for 2 months.
- tpmx 6y agoI mean, sure, for a very long time Sweden had insanely high per death per capita stats. By now, though, the US has passed Sweden in deaths per capita. It's about the same, e.g. horrible, though. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1104709/coronavirus-deaths-worldwide-per-million-inhabitants/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/1104709/coronavirus-deat...
- seppin 6y agoYes my point was Sweden's original policy was so bad it lead the world in deaths per capita, while it's neighbors had a small fraction of their infections / deaths and no noticeable difference in economic performance due to their lockdowns (Sweden had -9% GDP in Q2 the rest of the nordic bloc -9.8% averaged). Their policy was and continues to be an abject failure.
