> Interesting Sweden, who had one of the worst COVID responses
That is simply not true. Sweden has one of the lowest excess mortality of the pandemic of all developed countries. Only New Zealand and Denmark appear to have done better. Norway performed similarly, and Finland somewhat worse.
Excess mortality estimates are model-dependent, but almost all models tell the same story.
- obscurette 3y agoInitial response in Sweden was disaster for elder people. But they learned fast and in the end they did much better, seems. It's unclear however whether other countries could behave in same way. For example vaccination share in Sweden is relatively high (72%) and rather flexible health system. Could for example Bulgaria (vaccination share 30%) with their even normally overwhelmed health system behave the same way?
