Sweden vs. Neighbours
Apr 30, 2020
Despite reports to the contrary, Sweden is paying heavily for its decision not to lockdown. As of today, 2462 people have died there, a much higher number than the neighboring countries of Norway (207), Finland (206) or Denmark (443). The United States made the correct decision!

Sweden's experiment is quite costly. The death rate per million in Sweden is six times higher than its two, next-door neighbours. That ugly ratio is going to get worse for Sweden. According to the recent daily stats, three people died from the virus in Norway.
Sweden's latest one-day body count? 124.

| Sweden | 21,092 | 2,586 | 256 |
| Denmark | 9,158 | 452 | 78 |
