Sweden has had 180 deaths. We have 35 times the number of people Sweden has. If they had our population, their “let it burn” method would have resulted in roughly 6300 deaths by now, many more than the current 3400 deaths we have had.

The Netherlands has had over a thousand deaths. We have about 21 times the number of people that the Netherlands has. If the Netherlands had our population they would have 21000 deaths by now.

That’s OK. Those numbers will speed up the desired demographic replacement in those countries.

The Netherlands is a small but very densely populated country. It is roughly the same area and roughly the same total population of New Jersey. It might be more appropriate to compare The Netherlands to New Jersey.

Right now New Jersey total deaths: 267
Right now The Netherlands total deaths: 1,039 (175 new reported today)

Number of cases is more difficult to compare since it is largely a function of testing.

It may also be that New Jersey and The Netherlands have different starting points and are at different stages in the epidemic bell curve.

In any event, the little country of cheese, wooden shoes and windmills is currently ranked #4 in the world (less San Marino and Andorra) in number of deaths per million population.

Not exactly a success story, at least not enough evidence of one to this point.

Comparing number of deaths between countries only works when factoring in the date/time the virus took root and what was the initial response.

This is Sweden's current projected curve with number of deaths doubling every 3 days now:
