OT, Brazil, perhaps the country in the world with the most laissez-faire approach to the Wuhan virus, is experiencing case counts which are lower than last year’s at this time by 2/3 and a daily death toll which is lower than last year’s by 1/2. Deaths per person in Brazil since March of 2020 have been about 20% higher than those recorded in the United States. Note, real income per capita in Brazil is similar to that in the United States ca. 1941.
Sweden’s had daily death tolls (seven day moving average) in the single digits since last May. The equivalent in this country would be a daily death toll under 400. Over the last 20 months, the only time the daily death toll was that low was a period of about a month in June and July 2021.
