COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)
Good find. And this little stat was an eye opener.
| Deaths per million |
|---|
| Sweden | 301 |
|---|
| Denmark | 89 |
|---|
| Finland | 46 |
|---|
| Norway | 40 |
|---|
When comparing apples to apples, this leaves no doubt about the effectiveness of mitigation. Sweden taking the herd immunity approach is learning a hard lesson and their economy is now getting hit harder than their neighbors.
Trying that here, every large metro area in the US would have looked like, if not worse than NYC.
