Have you been actually following how things have gone? Sweden has 1708% more deaths to covid vs Norway, but only 84% higher population. That doesn't sound that

Have you been actually following how things have gone? Sweden has 1708% more deaths to covid vs Norway, but only 84% higher population. That doesn't sound that great to me.
- MatteoFrigo 5y agoThis comparison between two datapoints is not too useful. The graphs at https://euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/ https://euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/ provide a more nuanced picture, with the caveat that those are graphs of excess mortality and not necessarily covid-specific.

- ostrichlamb 5y agoPer Google stats, Sweden has had 14,664 COVID deaths to this day on a population of 10.23M people which is 0.1%, the vast majority being close to average age of death (82 y/o) in this country. (It's also worth noting that ~24K people die of vascular disease in this country every year to put things in perspective.) Although death is always unfortunate, it seems to be a very foolish goal to try and prevent everyone from dying in this situation. Well, we might be able to do just that, but how much of your previous way of life / liberties are we willing to sacrifice forever?
