Wix, my commentary is very specific to the shape and duration of the virus bell curve.  That happens regardless of population numbers.  My observation is this, extreme measures were taken in the U.S. and none were taken in Sweden.  One would think that if the extreme measures taken here were actually effective our bell curve would be shorter and flatter than Sweden.  There doesn't seem to be a significant difference between the two.  That's the extent of my observation.  Some time in the future we may learn that the significant harm done to our economy through all the shut down orders may in fact have had little impact on the spread of the virus.  Then again, maybe not.....we shall see.
