I’d be amazed if you could find Sweden on a map.[/QUOTE]

Sweden is doing extremely well.[/QUOTE]

They are doing well enough, but they had more deaths per capita than almost all their neighbors, including Germany, France and Denmark.

Similarly, their economy suffered quite a lot despite not officially locking down, as people chose quite dramatically not to go out and participate in the future economy. Europe one way or another took the virus seriously, and now they get to resume business better than us.

You gave a comparison of death rates with those countries surrounding them but yet failed to compare how much their economy declined in comparison with the economies of those around it. You only say that Sweden's economy has "declined". hmm, I wonder why. And this folks is exactly how you control the narrative.

First of all, big LOL to me "controlling the narrative". Dude I'm just a pilot sitting at home in a t-shirt a shorts, I'm hardly controlling anything 😂😂😂

Second, ya I said declined because it wasn't terrible, it was great either. They probably could have had fewer deaths and an economy that contracted a similar amount.

There won't be an announcement on Friday. This was a baseless rumour started without any factual information.

​​​​​​I feel like that article is actually fairly generous to your point of view. If you had actually read it.

Totally! I hate reading articles written by graduates of Stanford School of Journalism.
