Some numbers:
MA Population - 6.9M
Sweden Population - 10.2M
MA Covid Cases - 111k
Sweden Covid Cases - 74K
(as an aside I think case count is wildly inaccurate, but these are the numbers)
MA Covid Deaths - 8,243
Sweden Covid Deaths - 5,550
Roughly speaking that means 2x the number of people in MA have died as a percentage of the population, and you are proud of MA, yet you say Sweden failed?
I think we are too early to say if Sweden has failed, or was successful. There are too many unknowns. But to say Sweden has failed, and MA is something to be proud of is hard to reconcile with the numbers.
