Why are about half the Swedes I talk to on the Internet convinced their government's handling COVID-19 well, despite having more deaths per million than each of Sweden's neighbors *and* the United States?!?!
🇳🇱
@mathlover The USa and all of swedends neighbors have all handled COVID-19 relatively well. They all show consistent decreasing in death tolls since the initial outbreak and the time series on COVID deaths doesnt show any relapse yet for most EU countries or the USa. I'd say most countries including Sweden and the US have handled COVID fairly well.
@freemo Interesting take.
I'd say Sweden's neighbors have handled COVID well, the US mostly badly except in some states, and Sweden horribly.
@freemo New York State overall is doing well, but that's because we reopened slowly and based on science. Other states outside of the northeast are not doing well at all at the moment, especially in the south and the west.
@mathlover By the way I double checked on sweden, they are in deed handling it particularly poorly..
