I have posted before about watching the nations with less restrictions on their people, to see how they fare. So far- not that encouraging. Sweden has a population less 1/30 of the US, and currently has 5,540 cases- roughly comparable to the US, and 300 deaths (50 in the last 24 hours), a pace a little ahead of the US.

The Netherlands tried reduced restrictions until last week. They have a population 1/20 of the US and have 13,600 cases and over 1,100 deaths. This looks very much like a “pick your poison” situation for everyone.
