Source for that?

Every measure I've ever seen shows Sweden much worse than other nordics

Add to that population of sweden just over 10 mill vs UK 67 mill. So not faired well at all.

The figure I put up is per capita.

Sweden did very badly first wave then improved.

Every death from covid is an absolute tragedy, the 7 day average for the entire planet is lower than mid to late March 2020 when covid was beginning to get a foothold in Europe. Will we learn from this in the future for what virus next jumps from species to species.

[SWP's back]

Minor in a retrospective view due to lockdowns and medical intervention/vaccines etc. in 1918 they barely knew what a virus was let alone how to stop it.

Spanish Flu had an estimated IFR of 0.1/0.5% which is lower than covid.

That’s not true at all. Spanish Flu had a CFR of between 2.5-10% depending on the source. It was far far more lethal than covid-19.

Side note but they also had social distancing and masks in 1918-20.

 

[SWP's back]

Note Sweden who eschewed lockdowns had best numbers in Europe.

That’s also not remotely true.

I'd say that in 10-20 years it will be largely forgotten because we will not want to remember. Sad to say but people will want to move on - history teaches us that.

Spanish flu, where more died than in WWI, was hardly mentioned when I was a kid in 60s 70s.
