The "experiment" in Sweden is fascinating, to me, whether it was the right path or not is another question. I realize some perhaps don't wish to discuss any different patha and the results therefrom. I suppose some think the ONLY path would be a long term economic shut down, without regard for what happened in Sweden.
I mention it often because it's interesting, to me, another data point, which is perhaps trying to tell us something. The predictions for Sweden in April were all dire, and the disaster did not happen. It's remarkable, whatever the reason.
The wife thinks it is cultural, the same as why Germany has managed pretty well. She thinks culturally the "Latin" peoples are very different from the Nordic/Teutonic types (which obviously is true in a lot of ways) and that explains the different experiences.
The Asian countries also provide a different experience, place like Honk Kong obviously are highly urbanized, and have had a pretty good experience with this virus, the major variable being cultural wearing of masks nearly all the time by nearly everyone.
I think if one doesn't look at ALL the data and try and piece it together, one will get stuck with an incorrect conclusion that may feel comfortable, but still is wrong.
