The US has 30x - yes 30 times - the population of Sweden. So, take Sweden's COVID cases and multiply by THIRTY for a real comparison. 30 x 86K = 2,580,000. Doesn't sound so small now, does it?
Calling this a "Scamdemic" is absolutely ludicrous Qanon type conspiracy theory idiocy. Is it a "scam" that over 170K Americans have died (and likely more due to failure to properly count early cases) and tens of thousands are having nasty medical issues, such as difficulty breathing and "brain fog" months after they "recovered" from COVID? I for one wear a mask everywhere I go indoors.
I do also love how the same types of people that call it a "scam" are usually the same people that state the China engineered the virus to release on the world. I make no excuses for China and their hiding of the details of the disease and it's human-to-human spread, but it's just funny on the one hand those that are calling COVID a scam then turn right around and blame the Chinese (and they do deserve a lot of the blame)... for what... a scam virus?
If you think it's such a scam, then get yourself infected and report back on the results.
