Really? Nearly double the death rate in the US: https://www.newsweek.com/sweden-coronavirus-rate-1501250 As of today, 2462 people have died there, a much higher number than the neighboring countries of Norway (207), Finland (206) or Denmark (443).

If you can believe ANY of the stats. The US is allowed to attribute CV deaths withOUT any testing or verification. The standards are basically "Well, if you think their symptoms are 'close enough' to CV, then count the death as CV." Only problem is, the flu and pneumonia would have the same symptoms, so who knows the real death count of CV in the US? There is so much bull s---t going on.

Well then, that would make it worse for Sweden then, wouldn't it. If you think the US's numbers are somewhat inflated....that would mean then that Sweden could have far more than double the rate of the US.

The Gipper Posted May 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Here is today's Trivia Question, which may in fact be harder than you think, so I may keep it up a couple of days: In NFL history, Only 12 players have made 1st Team All Pro 8 or more times. Name as many as you can. Hints to help you: 1. There are NO QBs on the list 2. All are retired, all are in the PFHOF Bonus question: There are, however, 2 QBs who have been named 1st team All Pro 7 times. Name these two.
