Its pointless to compare their death rate with countries run by populist clowns and populations intent on expressing their “freedumbs”
Denmark death rate 105/million pop
Norway death rate. 47/million
Finland death rate. 59/million
Sweden death rate 549/million
51/2 times higher than Denmark, 11 1/2 times higher than Norway.
sometimes post hoc, ergo propter hoc is a real thing.
Apologies mate, I didn’t mean to selectively quote you, I just did it for the sake of brevity.
But your reply makes me wonder because I did acknowledge your original comment re neighbours.
This is what I said and I still think it’s accurate. I don’t understand your comment about populist clowns and freedumbs.
“Sweden’s death rate while higher than its immediate neighbours is still lower than the UK, Belgium, Germany, Spain and Italy... all of whom locked down. Some other countries that did NOT lock down such as South Korea, Taipei and others have really low death rates.”
Correlation does not prove causation.
