Stay inside. Forever.
^^^PorkyJacker reflects the extremist thinking of an extremist Deplorable. This is why their cult leader also rejects common sense solutions.
Or, the Koreans have a significant, or undiscovered,
cultural or biological induced immunity.
One most be careful of assumed
a priori explanations...
Keep in mind, for all the finger-pointing, now that we are beginning
to get better numbers, not the crap used to create the panic,
but Sweden is not all that out of line, especially if you
compare it to what happened in Italy or New York;
culturally, there were some major differences.
AFAIK, we’re the only country that actually behaves as though the coronavirus has a political component to it.
"Cultural or biological induced immunity?" I actually agree about culture; the East Asian countries that were scared shitless by SARS have dealt with this disease fairly well. Japan has had fewer Covid-19 cases than Iowa without even testing very much, and that's the oldest population in the world.
But "biological induced immunity" ... uh, no.
Sweden had two major advantages off the bat in dealing with this disease:
1. They have an excellent health care system in general, which covers everyone.
2. The Scandinavian countries, along with Germany, lead the world in percentage of people who live alone, which eliminates a major way the disease is transmitted.
Despite this, the only large (population 1 million-plus) countries with a higher Covid-19 death rate than Sweden are Belgium, Italy, Spain, and the U.K. If the people there can admit their policy failed both to protect people and protect their economy (something that's already happening), I'm not sure why their American fan club can't do the same.
