5 times as many deaths as their neighbors, with as much, if not greater economic hit than their neighbors, and an economic hut that is continuing unlike their neighbors who are now much closer to normality.

If this is exactly how it’s supposed to be working I shudder to think what the bad case scenarios would have been.

Short term economic damage is a) hard to measure and b) meaningless

Sweden’s betting on long term recovery in light of second/third/etc waves. As much as it detracts from the catastrophic fear and loathing narrative, it has sound economic and epidemiological foundations.
