While the US shuts down all commerce for weeks and destroys the economy, other countries like Sweden and Brazil are doing the opposite and allowing the China coronavirus to run its course.
Data indicates there no material differences in fatalities between the three countries leading the casual observer to question why is the US killing its economy?
The US continues to prevent nearly all commerce from occurring to combat the China coronavirus. Many other countries are following suit. But some countries like Sweden and Brazil are keeping their countries open for business.
Data shows that the fatalities related to the coronavirus in these countries are very similar to those in the US.
Numbers from Worldometer 4-0-20
Coronavirus deaths in Sweden appear to have peaked.
Coronavirus deaths in Brazil may have peaked.
Coronavirus deaths in US may have plateaued but not peaked.

Sweden sees just 77 new deaths from coronavirus & number of new infections drops by a quarter to just 544 as nation continues to resist lockdown https://mol.im/a/8208397
President Trump got duped by Dr. Fauci, Dr. Birx and the so-called coronavirus experts.
It’s time to open the US economy before the damage is too great to reverse.
Hi, Dean
Welcome to the Numbers Game! Any number can play! (silly pun intended).
I finished listening to the President’s press conference a little while ago. Great talk by Pres. Trump (who will be called “President Triumph” a few months from now). Secy. Steve Mnuchin performed exceptionally well: smart, to the point, does his homework, handles the press well. After listening to the reporters’ slimy questions, though, I had to go take a shower.
Enough of death counts! I would like to post some things I’m thankful for:
1. The Federal and Oregon tax filing deadlines have been extended to July 15, if my info is correct. For the Fed return, check

and correct me if I’m wrong
2. Everything works: electricity, internet, water
3. We’re having pizza delivered tonight.
4. It’s a beautiful day outside, and I can even go out on the porch to enjoy it if I wish.
5. I don’t have coronavirus.
That should be enough for starters. God bless and keep all you fellow shut-ins.
Death counts by country don’t reflect the fact the viruses have ‘passports’ and travel at ‘will’ with their own itinerary. Death counts in totalitarian and 3d world countries are unreliable. True reporting would cause distress and loss of control where power, not lives, is paramount. Countries have different economies and population density. This affects the rate, duration and density of infection. NYC is not Greenland. Brazil isn’t like Sweden.
