(14,173 posts)To gather data on that approach. If some country were selected to do this experiment, put their citizens at risk for the good of the whole planet, most would be aghast. But they put up their collective hands early on, decided they would volunteer to be the guinea pig society to see what happens if there is no shut down. What are you gonna do?
But I would also add, Swedes have a great, universal healthcare system. Centralized and well funded, and I'm sure much much more capable to deal with any sudden spike. ie. If any country should try this, its Sweden.
Too bad the US doesn't have a choice of a candidate that would work towards universal medicare system funded through taxes so costs could be reduced, everyone would be covered, centralized coordination, etc...........oh well.
