Sweden has a population of only a little over 10 million—about that of a U.S. state of medium population density.

Wish our state governments were handling it the same way.

How many have died from having mass immigration from the middle east in Sweden? Is there the same anguish over that?

Where did this virus come from? It wasn’t Sweden. It was from elsewhere, allowed in by hyper liberal policies. Probably not even Chinese, but other Europeans also affected.

The real question is not how many die from how they manage it, but why it had to happen in the first place.

Here are some numbers:

Nordic/Germanic countries from 3/9:
“How is it that Germany has 800 cases and zero deaths? Other countries are similar. Norway, Sweden, hundreds of cases, no deaths.”
Germany has 1151 cases, no deaths
Norway, 176 cases, no deaths
Sweden with 203 cases, no deaths
Finland, with 30 cases, no deaths
Denmark, with 35 cases, no deaths

3/16, Sweden has its 3rd death.

Sweden is purposely thinning the herd.

[A_perfect_lady]

France had the most deaths today (1,341) followed by the UK (881), and then Spain (655) and Italy (610.) I wonder why France is getting slammed so hard. Immigrant populations in no-go zones? Or what?

[packrat35]

Wow, something Sweden got right.

[Steve_Seattle]

"In the past few weeks, the country has experienced a bizarre nationalistic wave dubbed “public health nationalism” . . . "

Here we see the sleight-of-hand. Sweden, which has long been hailed by the left as a model of anti-nationalism, globalism, mass immigration, secularism, and socialism, is suddenly in the grip of a hitherto unknown phenomenon known as "public health nationalism."

But perhaps it is just the opposite; perhaps Sweden, which has expressed in various ways a desire for cultural suicide, simply doesn't have the motivation to try to save itself, and would rather ignore the threat and go about its daily business. Maybe this is just one more instance - not of nationalism - but of national self-hatred.

Sweden’s Coronavirus Approach Is Starting To Look Like A Mistake

Is it too much to ask that headline writers read the article before they write the headline?

I'm not going to argue that their approach is right or wrong. But, the article gives no facts whatsoever to show that their approach is already "starting to look like a mistake." They quote a few people saying it will turn out to have been a mistake.

A more accurate headline would be:

Sweden’s Coronavirus Approach Has its Doubters"

Way to early to tell. Wait till this time next year.

Hot Air allright.

Wait until one country figures out they can give Hydroxychloroquine to most of their citizens, as a preventative, and everyone go back to work the next day. End of epidemic right there.

Or one state here.

Trump will go bonkers. He was lied to. We all were, and still are.

How is the "team" faring this late unpleasantness?

[dfwgator]

I suspect that Sweden is what Trump is waiting on to make his decision about opening things back up. As Sweden goes, we’ll go.
