Any Swedes bothering to read this thread? If so would be interested to hear your views on how it's going.
Sweden is interesting because it's the only western country I'm aware of that isn't bothering with a lock-down and instead relying on the developing herd immunity quickly strategy the UK originally wanted to follow. Some reports this morning suggest it is working: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ses-chief.html |
Yes this is very interesting. Read this article

The COVID-19 death rate is nine times higher than in Finland, nearly five times higher than in Norway, and more than twice as high as in Denmark.

In order to achieve herd immunity you have to front-load the cost. It appears that's what is happening here.
Also very interesting is the international perception is that the Swedes are choosing this as a rational and informed strategy but the article heavily implies that they arrived at this result through incompetence or at least bad organization and leadership.
