The difficulty in comparison is what’s actually happening on the ground.
Sweden’s largest city has 1 million inhabitants.
where you are that would be considered a town

Most of the population live in the countryside with lots of inbuilt social distancing.
They’re are not avid drinkers in bars etc, its too fucking expensive.
It’s probably been dark for most of the time, just now having longer days.

Taking a look at the issues in the states where NY recorded more deaths that the UK, you have large overcrowded metropolitan areas perfect for the virus to spread.
From your posts I guess you live in a fairly remote place? If so its much easier to avoid the current spread, just as it is where I live. Went out for a 12km walk this morning and passed no one until i was on the last km home, which was by road.

Yeah to say it's rural around here is an understatement, if you take the entire population of Idaho and Wyoming it's less than greater manchester and three and a half times the size of England.
Don't get me wrong, I just saw the article and was just wondering on people's thoughts. Seemed pretty crazy but thought I'd air it here for people's discussion
 
Well there cases are shooting up and they’re building field hospitals and restricting day by day, I’d put them in the fucking idiot camp for now - either way, id prefer a collapsed economy to risking millions of lives.
Fair enough, obviously not working

If I were you I’d open my mind to the possibility that our Swedish friends are not idiots.
 
The danger is that our peak will be a plateau, whilst other nations, who test a lot, will peak and come down quickly.

My evidence for that question mark is the growing hospitalisations. That's incompatible with a peak.
 
I don't know of this magazine, never heard of it before but found this intersting. For those in the know is this BS?

I am not in the know but having read the article it basically say "if" repeatedly and sort of backs up its vague hypothesis by stating that Sweden does not list Cv19 as the cause of death if it is not the primary cause and then states that this is "probably" not enough to radically affect the figures.
A little too early to tell and the article hinges upon a speculation.
It may have merit but I would want a bit less speculation to determine the best path.

It's a wreckless risk of peoples' lives IMO.

If they get to the other side and have survived it with compared mortality rates to other countries, but without the financial impact, my view will be that they got away with it. Not that every other country screwed up.

If you are offered a grand for a shot to your head with a revolver with a single bullet, and you live to bank the grand, it does not make it a great decision.
