Social distancing is pretty easy in Sweden.

they all pile into the same sauna every night, and then go for a crash in their volvo because it is entirely safe.

You sound like you're beside yourself with glee.

That's a rather odd interpretation of that comment.

Pourqoi?

Massive country, homing only 10M, largest city has 1.5M.

This virus seems to make hay in big dense cities. London is the epicentre of UK virus and there are 7M. If you factor in population, there isn't that much between us.

Do Sweden's city inhabitants behave differently to those in other cities?

 

[motorbiking]

In this pandemic - yes.

 

[noseall]

In this pandemic - yes.

Nothing to do with population density then. More to do with the sense of the inhabitants.

You are talking about a fellow who loses sleep over an ill politician. He hates all Germans too.

Are you aware of what is going on there?

 

[noseall]

Are you aware of what is going on there?

Yes. The habits of city people bring them together in groups irrespective if there are a million or six million living there. Sweden are doing something right as are Germany. We are doing something catastrophically wrong.

 

[motorbiking]

Are you suggesting we should follow Sweden?

 

[noseall]

Are you suggesting we should follow Sweden?

No. Nor should they follow us.

Are Italy and Spain's totals including those who die outside hospitals ? France Belgium and Scotland do but I tend to think most countries don't. ? But whether countries do or don't their individual chart lines will still show when they peak.

Sadly the UK is still one of the main european countries heading upwards.
