No wonder the Lame Stream Media has been taking their frustrations out on Sweden. Upsets their Narrative.

Now Sweden isn't pimping out the mask narrative. Not even for riding on trains or buses.

Sweden just keeps on proving liberals wrong about everything.
Since late July, Sweden has been averaging about 2 COVID deaths per day.
Sweden has defeated the virus. And they did it without lockdowns, mask mandates, or other wacky authoritarian measures.

233,000 dead.Yea, not dangerous.
Sweden's success:

The Swedish COVID-19 experiment of not implementing early and strong measures to safeguard the population has been hotly debated around the world, but at this point we can predict it is almost certain to result in a net failure in terms of death and suffering. As of Oct. 13, Sweden’s per capita death rate is 58.4 per 100,000 people, according to Johns Hopkins University data, 12th highest in the world (not including tiny Andorra and San Marino). But perhaps more striking are the findings of a study published Oct. 12 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, which pointed out that, of the countries the researchers investigated, Sweden and the U.S. essentially make up a category of two: they are the only countries with high overall mortality rates that failed to rapidly reduce those numbers as the pandemic progressed.

Sweden has not come close to reaching herd immunity. The graph you present appears to show evidence of herd immunity but that is insufficient information. It only provides information on
daily deaths versus time. An August study published around August 12, 2020 in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine found that 15% of the Stockholm population had antibodies to
covid-19 and I assume that the percentage of people in the rural areas and smaller cities would have lower rates of antibody protection. Not everyone with antibodies is immune to covid-19,
since those that developed mild or asymptomatic cases often don't develop a sufficient antibody response to be immune. There is no reason why the number of daily deaths could not turn
upwards again in a second wave since herd immunity has not been achieved.
I have a problem with the use of the word "lockdown". What does it mean? The U.S. did not have a lockdown on the scale that occurred in Italy or China. People in the U.S. could leave their
homes during the late March to early May time frame and many did not wear masks or practice social distancing. Sweden didn't have a lockdown but they did promote social distancing and
activities that discouraged large gatherings. Many individuals worked from home.
There is no reason to believe that the "lockdowns" were a gigantic fraud. One must examine all of the lockdowns throughout the world and determine what success each had and what the
conditions were for each one. Some lockdowns were successful. One should not jump to conclusions based on a single country and 1 graph.
The U.S "lockdown" would have been more successful if it was done earlier and on a nationwide level, some rural areas could have been excluded where there was no evidence of the virus.
After the lockdown it would have been necessary to maintain CDC guidelines until a large percentage of the population had immunity through a vaccine.
