A couple of \nthings to note about Sweden vs the US and other countries. First, \nSweden&#8217;s healthcare system is top notch, and nationalized. They were \nquicker to gear up faster than other countries, especially the US, once \nCovid was identified as a problem. Due to its centralized healthcare\n system, they were able to develop a much more broad testing capacity \nand were able to find enough people who were carriers early on and \nisolate them before they were able to spread Covid to too many people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n They are doing well. But their neighbors Finland and Norway, countries \nthat took stricter measures, have a much lower death rate per capita of \nCovid than Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> As of April 26, Sweden&#8217;s Covid death count is 215 per million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Finland is 33.5<br> Norway is 35.6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n Note: Sweden has a higher death rate right now than the US. We are at \n160.69 deaths per million. California looks to be about 40 per.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \nThe bigger picture? We are only barely even a month into Covid being a \ntruly worldwide pandemic. The stats at this point are more like the \nsnap-shot memories of a three year old human than that of an adult. We \nneed more time to really know how Covid infections trend in societies \nand nations. The availability of widespread testing for both infection \nand antibodies is key to filling in the blanks. A LOT of things will \nhappen in the next nine months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Sweden...%20The%20Great%20Example%20Of%20How%20To%20Handle%20Covid%2019...%20Or%20Are%20They%3F\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div><p>Sweden&#8230; The Great Example Of How To Handle Covid 19&#8230; Or are they?
