Sweden And COVID-19...Or Do You Have To Ruin The Economy To Combat It?
We followed the prescription of a 14 year-old New Mexico school girl who composed a high school science project in the 1990’s to lock down the citizenry, distance & mask and decimate the economy with all the ancillary death and misery that brings in our country’s response to the pandemic the Chi-Com’s sent us. Most every other first world nation did the same, except for Sweden, which for the most part went about their business. Early on, that country suffered a peek in deaths and disease and critics went to town. It was a disaster, right? Wrong, actually, as the fullness of time is proving.
The stats are showing that early onslaught was a flash and with Sweden making the same mistakes the U.S. and others made with our most susceptible, the elderly as most of the cause. But, and this is the big “but,” Sweden did not ruin their economy by shutting in. In essence, Sweden let society proceed with minor rational precautions - mostly voluntary - and at the same time let the virus roll as it was going to do anyway, only quicker. The end result — the virus took its toll about like everywhere else comparable, but with a quicker surge and a pronounced decline as the disease took what it will. The difference? The Swedish economy was not ruined nor was their health care system overrun, which was the reasoning they initially gave us for our draconian approach. So, you tell me if the Swedish approach was the correct one, or the School Girl approach we used and continue to use?
