Enkle tankerekker kan være fristende, men det kan samtidig gi veldig upresise bilder av virkeligheten. Vil anbefale å lese denne artikkelen som drøfter nettopp dette med Sverige, og sammenligner til og med med Norge, DK, osv :
The assumption in many quarters was that Sweden would be overwhelmed by cases and would, belatedly, admit defeat and introduce lockdown measures. But that has never happened. In terms of the cumulative death toll, Sweden has been pretty average. Looking at a group of countries with similar populations (about 10 million), Sweden’s death toll is lower than Czechia, Belgium and Portugal, and a little higher than Austria and Greece.
However, the usual comparison is with Sweden’s nearest neighbours – Norway, Denmark, and Finland. By that measure, its death toll has been much worse. This, according to advocates of lockdowns, is proof that Sweden got it wrong.
But are things so clear cut?
