Like Texas, Sweden didn't take social distancing seriously

Not that it matters, but the average age of death from covid in Sweden is around 82 which happens to also be their life expectancy. Maybe since their life expectancy is a few years longer than ours then maybe we should pay more attention to how they treat their healthcare. It seems like they had around 4000 excess deaths with much of that centered around the nursing homes and home health care. That is where they screwed up.

You also never seemed to understand that Sweden did have social distancing and tried to quarantine the 70+ group in early March. They did have rules and recommendations in place. You seemed to think that Trump's portrayal of what Sweden was doing was accurate. It simply was not true.

Time will tell if they took the right approach with their overall healthcare relating to covid, but they pretty clearly did make mistakes with elderly care and covid.

Can't understand why you feel the need to make up stats to justify Texas being in trouble now... are you a huge fan of Trump?

Similar to other European countries,[6] close to half of those who died had been living at nursing homes.

Yet Sweden has 15x-20x the death count of it's neighbors. This is not a nursing home issue - it's a social distancing issue and the spread caused by asymptomatic young individuals. Texas is an epicenter because most ignored social distancing and mask policies. This is what causes disease to spread - is basic science beyond you?
