We’ve got 33 times their population. 401 deaths * 33 =13,233, or over 30% more deaths than we’ve had per capita. And they don’t have any mass petri dishes on the scale of New York City where most of our deaths have happened.
Doesn’t appear to be working as well as the original article would make it appear.
Try googling sweden coronavirus. Multiple articles criticizing swedish approach. Use chrome to look for just the last 24 hours. According to the below, Sweden to take new restrictions.
Typical:

Sweden has the lowest population density of any European country.
They are also second guessing whether they should have locked down and may implemnent a lockdown soon.
They also did close high schools and Universities and limited gatherings to no more than 50 people.
But they will get through this quicker as herd immunity will kick in sooner. Early death rates are not everything.
The overarching goal in sweden seems to be anything that speeds up the complete demographic replacement is a good thing.
Apples to apples...Stockholm, 1.5 million, to comparable US cities or even smaller ones. Stockholm has less cases and deaths than Denver, Cleveland, New Orleans, Detroit....
They are to the 72,636 people who have died.
They still have an economy? Besides Ikea?
See my other posts - death rates are inflated as Covid is not primary cause of death.
Why don’t they compare Sweden to their neighbors...Norway, Finland, and Denmark?
Sweden 47 deaths/million
Norway 14 deaths/million
Finland 5 deaths/million
Denmark 33 deaths/million
Yeah, they’re doing great. Oh yeah, as of this morning the US had 30 deaths per million.
Volvo is still making cars. But it’s owned by the Chinese.
>>>We’ve got 33 times their population. 401 deaths * 33 =13,233, or over 30% more deaths than we’ve had per capita
They added another 76 deaths today, or an equivalent of 2500 U.S. deaths.
Trump addressed this issue the other day by pointing out the USA has many different "countries" inside in terms of population densities so there's not a 1:1 comparison.
People have talked about South Korea and some others that are relatively tiny by comparison.
..... Sweden knows that the death rate is mainly among the elderly ..... which in better times they have considered to be a financial burden upon society .... This strategy of theirs will help cull to population of that burden.
Sweden is higher than the US on Day 11 but not by as much as the Netherlands (which is trying the Swedish approach), and their rate of growth is slowing. Of courses we slammed the brakes so I'd HOPE we are lower; it's a costly approach but I get the intent.
More to come.
The deaths in Sweden are going to be a nightmare.
These guys sound like anti-Trumpers making passive-aggressive swipes at our president.
It is kind of interesting, though, that Sweden is one of the countries always held up by liberals as showing the superior humanity of putting people before profit. And here they are now, saying the economy is more important than the health issue. Hmm. Whodathunk?
Swedes are smart, except when it comes to electing feminists to government, and allowing bearded savages to immigrate.
