Sweden with a couple of setbacks. 🙁

I was hoping to see how Sweden would fare if it stuck to it's approach longterm.

Business Insider

Sweden, which refused to implement a coronavirus lockdown, has so far avoided a mass outbreak. Now it's bracing for a surge in deaths.

Sweden urged people to practice social distancing but left shops and restaurants open, breaking with many countries across Europe and the world.

Also they suspended their chloroquine trial due to side effects (I still hope it's efficient keeping people alive).

Swedish hospitals scrap trial of malaria drug for COVID-19 patients

Doctors at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Vastra Gotaland are no longer administering the medication after patients like Carl Sydenhag (pictured) became more ill.

After the UK abandoned their "quasi-herd immunity" approach I was banking on Sweden and the Netherlands.

Other than the Netherlands are there any other less stringent approaches to track?
