Yeah it's another fabricated excuse to go to war and spend trillions. Show them a few thousand people dying then let no expense be spared.

I think the article is spot-on. So far only .03% of the population of Sweden has died from Covid-19. (3.2k/10.2M). Pretty negligible. Does that really justify the consequences of shutting down the world economy? Most of those people we
