I'm not sure what the exact cut off number is, but whatever that point is
we certainly passed it by a week in early July when just Florida and Texas
reported 3 times more new COVID-19 cases than all 27 countries of the

wasn't for Sweden; the former great example of how to handle a pandemic
without damaging an economy has turned into the new Sick Man of Europe.
