> the rest of Western Europe has much higher rates of death than the US

Or not, depending on country.

Norway and Sweden are in other measures very similar countries. We lie right next to each other, we have quite similar political environment etc. Our societies are in general quite similar. We had a very different response to the corona virus though.

I agree Norway has been a bright spot. If Norway was a US state, it would be ranked 14th in deaths per capita. So better than average. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covi...

I'm completely aware that there are different countries in Europe that have different strategies for containing this thing. But so do the states in the US.
