Regarding 2 the Swedish state economy probably hasn't been in a better shape to pump money into the system in the last 20 years. The whole talk about "spara i ladorna" (save in the barns) by the minister of finance has been widely criticized before 2020,but has left the government in a very favourable position compared to the rest of the EU.

Nr. 4 is spot on, though.

I agree, but both from a technical and a social perspective, a) Norway is in a stronger position to mitigate the economic impact of the crisis and b) Norwegian politicians will have a harder time to spin up an austerity narrative.
