Countries are obviously taking opposite approaches and right next to each other. Pretty much identical age demos (65+,median age,life expectancy)

Population density is also higher in Sweden and they 10.1 million vs 5.6 million for Denmark

Sweden 401 deaths 6830 cases

1 in 25,487 deaths 1 in 1478 cases

Denmark 179 Deaths 4369 cases. 1 in 31284 deaths 1 in 1281 cases


Not sure if both are testing at the same rate.Im assuming it's close

So are we REALLY supposed to believe we'd have 2,000,000 deaths if we "did nothing" vs 200,000 (what we're doing now)

BTW,Sweden isn't doing "nothing"
(have no idea why this argument is presented this way) They are taking a targeted approach with the elderly and obviously with those that test positive but schools are open (16 under) as are business and restaurants.

Just the opposite in Denmark and they were one of the 1st Nordic countries to shut down LINK

This is actually a tricky calculation. Denmark has 135 people per km^2 while Sweden has 35 people per km^2, but Sweden has a vast wilderness area, with most of its people living in cities in the South of the country. I don't think I've seen a real estimate, but I'd wager, if you combined the metropolitan densities of Swedish cities, they would be twice as high as Denmark.
