  1. Belgium is not comparable due to the different requirements to attribute a death to covid-19. UK locked down way too late. Sweden had several weeks of advantage over Italy and Spain, and the further advantage of a MUCH lower population density. The other nordic States exploited that advantage, locked down early (only few days after Italy) and suffered very limited casualties. Sweden did not. As a result, Sweden has SIX TIMES the death per million inhabitants than Denmark (that has an higher population density) TEN TIMES those of Finalnd and Norway, and it's death rate is growing faster than anywere else in Europe. It will reach Italy quite soon.

  3. Yeah, it did, but they served the mankind by becoming a cautionary tale.

  4. Not "far" lower, sorry. It's death rate is barely lower than Italy and Spain (UK locked down way too late, and Belgium is not comparable, since they use a different system to count Coronavirus deaths) and rising at an higher pace. In all probability, they will end up surpassing them. Sweden had several weeks of advantage over Italy, and the further advantage of a MUCH lower population density. The other nordic States exploited that advantage, locked down early (only few days after Italy) and suffered very limited casualties. Sweden did not.

  5.  @Just_another_Euro_dude  The role of the Atalanta-Valencia match had been greatly exagerated by the media (to put the blame on something easy to understand for the mass). In reality the Valencian Community had been one of the least affected regions in Spain. Had the Atalanta-Valencia match had any role in spreading the epidemic in Spain, it would have been the contrary.

  6. Belgian numbers are not comparable with the rest of the world. There the authorities listed as due to coronavirus any suspect death, regardless if a test had been made or not.

  9.  Crimson Wave  They have almost six times the deaths per million than the worst of their neighbour (Denmark, that has twice the population density). And yes, US is not taken as an example of good Covid-19 management by anyone.

  10.  Crimson Wave  France Italy and Spain have 8 times the population density than Sweden, had been hit before, and crushed their curve anyway. As said, Sweden's situation could have been that of its neighbours. They chose to be hit 6 times worse.

  11.  Crimson Wave  For now is "6 times worse" and they are not even close to herd immunity. It means that to Sweden's neighbours it will take at least 6 years to arrive to where Sweden is now in terms of deaths. But, for then, Sweden will have moved further anyway.

  12.  Crimson Wave  8 people died of Covid in Denmark in the same month. 63 of those people would have been still alive. 4871 people of the 5846 that died of Covid in Sweden, would have been still alive. They already failed. Infact you are rooting for the others to fail like them in the future.

  13. @UCwitxfb8l4KPSp2Me35_BYw Come on. I'm sure you are a little more intelligent than that. The lockdown ended months ago for Denmark, like for all the ones that successfully crushed their curve in time. "4871 people of the 5846 that died of Covid in Sweden, would have been still alive." So it was to prevent 4871 people, until now, from dying.

  14.  Crimson Wave  You rooting for other countries to fail like Sweden doesn't make it real.

  15. Written on a computer and sent via internet, that's quite hilarious.

  16. Because Britain didn't want to comply with the obligations that come with being part of the European Economic Area and European Free Trade Association. You can't have the advantages of the club members without being a club member.
