Sweden’s COVID-19 Fatality Rate Is High

[Cinnabar]

Sweden ranks seventh on the list of countries with most COVID-19 fatalities per capita. (I exclude microstates with populations under 100,000.) The six countries with more fatalities per capita are all in Western Europe. (I include the United Kingdom.) The fatality rate in the Netherlands is only slightly higher than in Sweden, but since April 1 it’s grown faster in the latter. Sweden appears to be on track to move up from seventh to sixth place before long.

Arguments for lifting any given lockdown can be made. At this point in the pandemic, however, Sweden’s experience no longer clearly supports them.

The question is did thier health system get overwhelmed? Are patients dying in the streets without care?

Deaths per capita can just be a factor of actually doing testing.

Do the front line of the Army of Health workers feel that they got fucked over?

This is what matters.

So we blew up a record setting economy just so we could beat Sweden by a nose in death per capita stats?

Really?

I think the question is ‘why isn’t Sweden an absolute basket case by now?’ Why aren’t people dying in the streets of Stockholm because the hospitals are over run with COVID patients?

Why is that?

It is the numbers at the end of this infestation that matter Einstein.
