"RUSH: This guy, Neil Ferguson's
predictions at the outset said 90,000 people in Sweden would die because
they weren't gonna lock down, and 4,000 people died."
Rush Limbaugh's standard of expert opinion is always the guy who gets it wrong the worst.
That's called cherry picking, which is what idiots do.
Let's try to do it the right way.
Sweden deaths to date (no lockdown): 4,542 (18th in the world).
Deaths among fellow Nordics to date (with lockdowns):
Norway: 237
Finland: 321
Denmark: 580.
Sweden also has nearly 41,000 cases and rising. Daily new cases there are near record highs. Sweden is still feeding the beast. The other Nordics have 75% fewer total cases and even fewer than that. The other Nordics are doing enormously better than Sweden.
19 times better, 14 times better, 8 times better.
Rush can pretend this is over all he wants. This isn't over by a longshot, there or anywhere else, until new cases come down and fall to zero.
Sweden's fatality rate is more than twice as high as America's at 11%+. Expect 4,000 more deaths in Sweden at the minimum.
