Sweden implemented nationwide restrictions while the US allowed states and cities to make determinations on what was needed. I will take our approach.

I wouldn't be surprised if the US GDP outperforms Sweden after how well the US has done in the 3rd q.

Sweden announces 3rd Q on Nov 5th.

2nd Q they were down 8.3% vs 2nd Q US was down 9.4%.

Sweden Sept unemployment 8.3%. US unemployment Sept 7.9%.
