A few pertinent questions, compared to Sweden, how much international commerce is performed in Norway and Finland? How many people actually visit Sweden vs how many visit Finland/Norway?
I ask because although I have heard of Stockholm, I do not recognize any city in either Norway or Finland. Could it be that Sweden has a higher rate of business visitors then either Finland and Norway with that being the main reason Sweden is worse then the other two?
It really appears like international travel has a great effect on this outbreak.
As I said before, you are retired, probably fully own your house, and have a higher savings then the vast majority of those who have been out of work. You really cant relate to any of them at this point. They want to get back to work. You can stay inside if you want, but I'll be damn if I let this virus take me out financially.
Joe, I'm not going to do your reading for you. Here's a tip. Go to Google, and type in a single word: Sweden. A bunch of stories about Sweden's decision will pop up. Read a few of these, and you'll conclude that Sweden is in trouble, and even their prime minister is starting to tap-dance.
