    It was not hysteria. Lots of people died. And, yes, Scandinavians wore masks a lot.

      Where did you get that from? We definitely didn’t, it was quite uncommon to see people with masks, the majority didn’t use them ever. Why are you, an American, gaslighting me how it happened in my own country?

          Du verkar vara helt besatta av politik från där borta, men okej, visst. Kanske danskar gick överstyr med munkorgen, men det gjorde inte vi svenskar.

            You seem to be totally obsessed with politics from over there, but okay, sure. Maybe the Danes went overboard with the muzzle, but we Swedes didn’t.

                Ja, det gjorde det ju? Sveriges överdödlighet var ungefär samma som Danmarks, samt att vi fick inte lika hårda ekonomiska konsekvenser eller inskränkning i våra personliga friheter. Eller vad syftar du på?

                    So your conclusions are based on a study using data from only the first half of 2020…? You know, when there wasn’t any vaccine and it spread through our elderly homes?

                    So why don’t you look at the excess mortality for the entire period for a more nuanced answer, https://www.scb.se/hitta-statistik/artiklar/2023/olika-matt-pa-overdodlighet-ger-liknande-resultat-for-sverige/ for example? Sweden had even slightly less excess mortality during 2020-2022 than Denmark, despite having very few restrictions.

                    It’s hard to admit afterwards that your country maybe went overboard with restrictions, but the data shows Sweden had better results despite very few people wearing masks. Take it how you want to.
