Finland and Norway are doing great.
Finland has 131 deaths per million, Norway 111, while Sweden has 1247.
And Sweden is right between Finland and Norway.
- jussij 6y agoAnd lets not forget Finland shares a border with Russia, a country that has struggled to control COVID-19.
- Jommi 6y agoFinland is effectively an island too - esp with the border restrictions with Russia currently.
- Isinlor 6y agoFinland is certainly not an island. Their government have even problems imposing mandatory tests on borders due to constitutional restrictions. There is practically uncontrolled traffic from Sweden and indeed a lot more controlled traffic from Russia. They have also regular ferry traffic from Estonia. Sweden is right between Finland and Norway. Sweden has 1,247 deaths per million, Finland 131 and Norway 111.
- jussij 6y agoAnd Russian deaths running at 1538 per million.
- monkeydreams 6y agoI don't know about Finland off the top of my head, but didn't Norway's king just blast the government over their slipshod handling of COVID? Norway [Sweden actually] thought they could have the best of both worlds and shoot for herd immunity, and they ended up with a load of premature deaths and an economic malaise because no one wanted to be the person to take the viral hit for the good of the economy. Edit: Wrong country.
- chokolad 6y agoThat was Sweden, not Norway.
- Isinlor 6y agoIndeed, Sweden has 1247 deaths per million, Finland 131 and Norway 111.
- monkeydreams 6y agoAah, I am mistaken. My apologies.
