Sweden is a mostly homogenous country of Swedish people all adapted to their climate with the right pigment to get vitamin d into their system.

Here where diversity is the key some people do not get enough vitamin d through their skin and are likely the same ones who do not take a supplement.

Sweden being homogenous is why socialism works pretty well. All of them have the same values. In a diverse country where some have no work ethic socialism does not work.

Sweden has had 14k dead in a population of 10 million.

Norway + Denmark combined are 10 million as well with a similar combined population density and ethnicity. Their combined number of dead is 3000.

Norway+Denmark had a lockdown, Sweden did not.

The economic hit was the same to both countries.

Yet Sweden had nearly 5 times more deaths.

Oh and Norway and Denmark have had 0 covid deaths for some time now

I am guessing you have not been to Sweden lately.

Really? Have you checked where Sweden is located? Yes, nice long Summers, but dark long winters.

Sweden isn’t socialist.

It moved in that direction for a while in the 1950s, but later changed its mind and became a Social Democracy instead. In Social Democracy you don’t rely on public ownership of the means of production (farms, factories, mines—classic Socialism). Instead, you have capitalism and private ownership (for the most part), but some of the profits go to improving the population’s quality of life.

They have a free market economy and a welfare state yet Sweden still has a rrank of 10 in “ease of doing business” - the USA’s rank is 6
