State of Sweden

 Here is a quick update on Sweden. The death rate in sweden is now below the average to be expected this time of year.


Their schools are open, businesses are open, activities are mostly normal. They are through the crisis. Other Scandinavian countries have fewer deaths/1M population, but they are not done yet.

Per the BBC 

"Although businesses have largely continued to operate in Sweden, the country's economy is highly dependent on exports, which were hit by lack of demand from abroad.

Various forecasts predict the Swedish economy will still shrink by about 5% this year.

That is less than other countries hit hard by Covid-19, such as Italy, Spain and the UK, but still similar to the rest of Scandinavia."
