But it appears some countries are doing mostly nothing. I’m curious which ones they are. I’d like to follow them and see how things unfold there in comparison.
Sweden is one - currently advising no gatherings of more than 50 people, avoiding social contact if over 70 or at risk and working from home if possible - that is far less stringent than the rest of Europe. I see their example was mentioned positively upthread which confused me as their mortality rate is worse than the USA and more than half of Europe.

It also might be about to get worse for them...
