Sweden is. Much of Africa will have little choice but to muddle through.

We'll likely get a good idea of what the "no or low response" route looks like.

You're right, but I'd classify Sweden as medium response. They still have measures in place, just not as harsh.

With poorer countries (which applies to most of Africa), I guess it'll take several months or years until we know what the excess death rate was. Esp. in rural communities, that data probably often won't be reported as a Covid death. Even Northern Italy had an excess death rate 2x as high as the reported deaths and they had all the attention.

Sweden's decidedly more casual than other OECD / Eurozone countries. NPR were carrying a segment on it this morning.
