Pandemic Policy Postmortem:
Lessons from Sweden Compared to Other Countries

COVID: In Sweden, no children missed a day of school and the citizens choose the risk they would accept. This is the best Postmortem I have read and listened to on COVID. Panelists ranged from liberal to conservative. It sounded like many countries had a plan similar to what Sweden used but they abandoned it.

Hopefully the US will never shutdown the economy again. We should learn from Sweden.

The CDC's New 'Best Estimate' Implies a COVID-19 Infection Fatality Rate Below 0.3% According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the current "best estimate" for the fatality rate among Americans with COVID-19 symptoms is 0.4 percent.

CDC Provisional Death Counts for COVID-19: Number of deaths reported in this table are the total number of deaths received and coded as of the date of analysis, and do not represent all deaths that occurred in that period. Data during this period are incomplete because of the lag in time between when the death occurred and when the death certificate is completed, submitted to NCHS and processed for reporting purposes. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm
