8. He also completely lied about what Sweden is doing and its death rate compared to other countries

Widely circulated (lying) FB post:

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. Sweden’s recommendations aren’t as strict as Norway’s and Denmark’s, 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.
