He's trying to counter what Dr. Fauci is saying during his testimony. Benign, wrong predictions, not going to be a surge, blah blah blah, then had the balls to express concern for those poor kids who might miss school in the fall.

Sweden has zero lockdown and is in no worse shape than Denmark or Norway, which are in lockdown.

Sweden, mostly open, has higher COVID-19 death rate than Denmark
It goes too far to say Sweden has no lockdown in response to COVID-19. Swedens recommendations arent as strict as Norways and Denmarks, but it is recommending social distancing.
The rate of confirmed coronavirus cases is rising faster in Sweden than in Norway and Denmark, and Sweden has a higher death rate.
Differences such as how much testing is being done from one country to another can make comparisons difficult.

(4,379 posts)Paul was saying there are very few cases of children getting sick. Which of course does not mean shit if it's your child that gets sick.
There is no doubt, Republicans see the individual American as expendable. We can send our children back to school because the numbers show only a few of them will die.
