They have less than half the number of cases thay the Netherlands has. Go look it up. They have way slower case growth too, and that's just one Scandinavian country, much less all of them combines like you claimed. If you're going to make a whole mock thread at least research it so you don't come out looking like a moron.
Because they're just Europrovinces. Do you know why Netherlands isn't considered "Scandinavian"? Because some king at some point was Catholic and some other king wasn't. I mean really, let's just put Sweden in a group with Norway, Faroe Islands and like one other former Viking tribal haunt and swear Sweden is really not an outlier...
I do want to interfere in a discussion about lockdowns.
But if you do argue at least get your facts right.
The Netherlands is not and was never a Scandinavian country.
Also the Netherlands never had a king who was catholic.
So if you are mocking somebody about doing research, first do your own.
The Netherlands has up to now about 103.000 cases on a population of 17.500.000
Sweden has 77.000 on a population of about 10.000.000
Denmark 13.000 on a population of about 5.500.000
Norway 9.000 on a population of about 5.300.000
Finland 7.000 on a population of about 5.500.000
Iceland 2.000 on a population of about 350.000
(all numbers are taken from the site of
John Hopkins University. They have different numbers then for example Worldometer where the Netherlands has only 51.000 cases instead 0f 103.000. But I know that these are the number of people they have checked. So I think the number of John Hopkins are more correct, because in the beginning of the pandemic (the peak), they did not test people at all)
So all the other Scandinavian countries have about 21.000 and Sweden has 77.000
All the other Scandinavian countries have a population of 16.650.000 and Sweden has 10.000.000
So Sweden has 7.7 cases per 1.000 people
Rest of Scandinavia has 1.3 cases per 1.000 people.
The Netherlands has 5.8 cases per 1.000 people.
That is less then Sweden, but you also have to bare in mind that in Sweden 22 people live per 1 KM2 and in the Netherlands 420 per 1 KM2.
That is 21 times as much per KM2.
Just facts.
Not saying what is better or which way of handling the virus will work out better in the end.
