CV and mad panic behaviour

[Thryleon]

Don't for one minute think I'm underestimating the effects of this disease.
At 66 with heart and kidney issues I can't afford to get it.
I've been pretty much housebound for six months.
I'm still reluctant to stray far from home and I keep a record of all the places I've visited.
...and I'm currently living in QLD with very few active cases

The suggestion was that Sweden and the UK are heading for a world of pain.
I'm wondering whether they'll be any worse off than other European nations.

I'm not doubting Sweden adopted a poor strategy in the beginning.
I'm just curious as to how they will go long term.

So Sweden...yep, poor during the first wave.
But let's put those first wave stats aside for one minute.
At the moment we're seeing a rising trend in their second wave but how are they comparing  with others second time around
Are they(will they be) any worse off in their second wave than others.

The charts I'm looking at show a dozen nations with greater numbers of deaths per million than Sweden.
Are we singling them out because they seemed to follow a different strategy?


.

The few sources of information I have seen on Sweden has them faring much worse during the second wave than their Nordic neighbours based on trend.

We wont know until we know for sure but data is coming out to show that herd immunity is impossible to achieve and they did take some lockdown measures but think of us in June and that was closer to what they did.  Businesses and schools open.
