Sweden’s grim result — more death, and nearly equal economic damage — suggests that the supposed choice between lives and paychecks is a false one: A failure to impose social distancing can cost lives and jobs at the same time.
Per million people, Sweden has suffered 40 percent more deaths than the United States, 12 times more than Norway, seven times more than Finland and six times more than Denmark.
The elevated death toll resulting from Sweden’s approach has been clear for many weeks. What is only now emerging is how Sweden, despite letting its economy run unimpeded, has still suffered business-destroying, prosperity-diminishing damage, and at nearly the same magnitude of its neighbors."
Sweden's example doesn't really prove your point

It seems there are a few of you who are a little tone deaf when forming your arguments. Posting a NY Times article to defend an argument will result in a quick set of blind eyes and deaf ears. How many Fox News articles have you used for sourcing? I think the safe assumption is approximately zero, and there's a reason for that.
CNN
Fox News
MSNBC
Drudge Report
New York Times
Facebook status updates
Stories from my friend's girlfriend's dad's pool guy
Etc...
Worthless when attempting to form, defend, or source an argument.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. Carry on.
