Complex question


I imagine at the end of the day they probably will have more cases and deaths per capita than their Nordic breathren but their economy and workers will be miles ahead of other comparative European countries and they'll also have healthier population in the long run just because their younger generation will get exposed to the virus.

That exposure saved thousands in this country during H1N1.

FYI, I added a tab for Sweden on my Tracker.

Well Sweden has twice the number of infections and deaths as Denmark with half the population. So maybe we shouldn't be so quick to praise them. It's way too early. Maybe they will get it right, maybe not


Not praising anyone and I as I stated earlier let's see how the fare.

It's obviously a risk/reward situation.

We are not necessarily attempting to prevent eventual exposure to the virus (unless there's a vaccine and that's still an "exposure"). We are attempting to prevent exposure all at once.

Yep. If you can control the outbreak, that’s the reward.

I wonder if we’d have noticed as the general public if they’d just said “flu is bad this year. Wash your hands!”

We might have. We might not have.
