I am growing tired of these silly graphics mocking the Swedish COVID-19 approach. They don't even tell a quarter of the story and are completely misleading.
You can't judge Sweden until we go into the second wave (at the very least). As it stands right now they are doing better than the UK, Italy, France, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands. Not to mention the Tri-State area of the US.
They do have a higher death rate than other Nordic countries but a great deal of that has occurred at Swedish care facilities where there is way more overcrowding than is the case in Norway for example.
In my opinion the jury is still out on there approach but lets apply a modicum of critical thinking before we rush to display memes that do nothing to further our understanding of the efficacy of said policies.
