..continue (see above): The health care system has stood up pretty well here. Which, of course, was prio number one for the authorities. And the R-rate is below 1 now. Even in Stockholm.
Stockholm, by the way, has been a cluster for this virus. And the so called "utsatta områden", "deprived areas", where mostly immigrants live. The rest of the country is less affected.
Some counties hardly at all.

we have awesome health care....best in the world...if you can afford it, that is.
and, simply put, many Americans have obesity-related illnesses that all the health care in the world can do nothing about.

Realize this is a can of political worms, but also realize this is very much on topic and was discussed the last time the issue was raised.
Multiple stations airing this press briefing live cut away or quickly followed it with warnings not to take this drug as it can be very dangerous or fatal to some people with certain conditions (including FOX) Unbelievably irresponsible.

President Trump said Monday that he is taking the controversial drug hydroxychloroquine — an antimalaria drug that the Food and Drug Administration has warned against widespread use — along with zinc as preventative measures against the coronavirus. "I get a lot of tremendously positive news on the hydroxy and I say, hey, you know the expression I've used ... what do you have to lose?" Mr. Trump said.
Mr. Trump said he's has been taking a pill "every day" for about a week and a half, and "I'm still here."
But the FDA cautions hydroxycholoroquine has been linked to serious and even fatal heart risks in some patients. The largest study on the drug to date showed it did not improve the condition of coronavirus patients and was linked to a greater number of deaths. Other studies are looking into the potential impact of using the drug in combination with zinc or azithromycin, an antibiotic.
