If this doesn't make you feel like you belong to their target audience I don't know what will.

Give me a break, glubson. Sweden’s idea of herd immunity didn’t work. End of story.  But I suspect you will come up with some bizarre defense.
But Sweden's idea of being a herd does seem to be living out. I read that Sweden is in fact a very polarized society, on many issues, including this one. I heard a number of Swedish doctors who were furious with what was happening. Had they wanted to try and establish herd immunity, that's not how it should've been done. Not enough and not broad enough the exposure of what they did. They murdered thousands for nothing. Those who made those decisions...well, I would feed them to Chinese or Koreans or whoever else eats dogs.
geoffkait,

"Sweden’s idea of herd immunity didn’t work. End of story.
I agree that it is a little suspicious, but it is not end of the story yet. Not in Sweden, not in Brazil, not in the U.S.A. Sweden merely chose not to "flatten the curve", but to, sort of, take a hit at once. It is a different approach with its own shortcomings, but it is hard to assume that long-term outcome will be much different.

Again, remember that social distancing was to "flatten the curve". It was not automatically assuming better final statistics. It was to decrease the strain on the healthcare system at one time. Hoping that, eventually, it would improve outcomes for individual patients. Which is likely, but not guaranteed yet.
I knew you would try to defend them. Say, you’re Swedish, aren’t you? Say 99 in Swedish three times fast.
