Norway: 237 deaths
Sweden: 4542 deaths
If you watch the daily case data, Norway is done with the first wave, meanwhile there's no end in sight for Sweden, at least not yet. Norway was able to unwind most restrictions, and by June 15, they will be MORE open than Sweden.
It looks like travel restrictions are going to loosen around most of Europe this summer, tourism will start to come back, and economies will recover. If the trend doesn't change, Swedes may find themselves left out.
So what did they gain? They didn't have to stay at home for two months. What did they lose? Thousands of lives, and a chance for a speedy recovery. That's a success?
