More and more, I continue to be shocked that countries in this position didn't end up letting covid run its course. Seems like after some initial difficulties, it could have helped balance their demographics a lot.
- majani 4y agoGuess governments aren't as cynical as some think
- Retric 4y agoAre you actually surprised governments didn’t decided to kill a few million of their own citizens?
- chaostheory 4y agoDidn’t Sweden take this risk? Looking at the data, it seems to have paid off unless I’m reading it wrong
- Retric 4y agoNo? Sweden had quite a strong COVID response including an entry ban for a while. The government got quiet draconian when cases spiked, but where more targeted than many countries.
- nisegami 4y agoYes, or at least I was until I remembered those making decisions are mostly older and more at risk of death or issues from contracting covid.
- unity1001 4y agoThey did. With not locking down early, claiming that it was 'nothing', not providing them support during the lockdown, then reopening early. All for the sake of the stockmarket and 'the economy'.
