      So Covid-19 and Dresden are the 2 times not to look on the bright side of life? I'll remember not to be grateful then.

          The left lives to virtue signal. The new religious fanatics. Mullahs. If they were genuine about this they'd be for criminalizing cigarettes. They're on a path to get Trump re-elected. Most people know this isn't really about more deaths vs. helping billionaires.

            Sweden's deaths per million is respectable, though not like the bellwethers, California, Texas and Florida.
            Exactly. Why will Sweden experience a significant second wave when they will essentially keep doing what they have been doing all along?

              Which country has had the worst second wave?

                      Second waves are inevitable—the difference for Sweden will be that they already let their vulnerable and old people die.

                        I'm not an expert, but when I look at the data on worldometers, it doesn't look like there's a such thing as a significant second wave in any country so far.

                              For clarification, are differentiating between a second wave and a second round?
