Honest question, what is unique about Nordic culture that makes it altogether different than the UK, France, Belgium and Italy, such that Sweden is not allowed to be compared to other European countries which fared worse or about the same as they did despite draconian lockdowns? Is the argument that Nordic people are more naturally resistant to this disease and therefore Sweden could have lost fewer people? Or is it merely that Norway and Finland were able to prevent the outbreaks among their most vulnerable since they had the benefit of the virus arriving later and so they could better prepare?

The most recent stat I read showed that Sweden currently has less than a dozen people in the hospital with Covid conditions. We're 8-9 months in to this and so far the Swedes are not dropping like flies. They had an early spike in deaths and it since fizzled out.
