Where are the Strokes and Heart Attacks?

Sweden has demonstrated you need not shut down your country due to this virus.

Per million persons Sweden has 192 covid-19 deaths compared with 144 in the US. I think their policy is not ideal.

It is usual for half the number of cases to show up day after day?

No. It is unlikely that the number of strokes and heart attacks has halved; it is more likely that half the people who suffer them are not reporting to hospitals.

No everyone agrees, but it is doing just as well as most and better than others.

It is still early. The pandemic has not peaked yet, and may have a long tail.

It might but Sweden should make it through faster than most.

No, they are not. You are classified as a probable idiot though.
