We have been told that Sweden has not had a complete shutdown on the virus and they are doing quite well. Well, that is not entirely true. They have shut down Nursing home visits on April 1. On Mar. 24 they introduced new restrictions in bars and restaurants requiring all service to be table service only. They have put restrictions on travel and advise against all non-essential travel abroad until June 15. So they have had some restrictions on their citizens.

Well, what have been their results to date? They have a population of 8.9 million and they have had 2274 Coronavirus deaths or 255.5 deaths per million residents. How does that compare with Tennessee? Tennessee has a population of 6.8 million and we have had 184 deaths or 27 deaths per million. So doesn't that indicate that locally we are doing way, way better than Sweden? And doesn't that indicate that the restrictions we have had to endure have been very effective?
