Population density (on a national scale) is not relevant. Sweden is an urbanized country, like most (all?) of the western world. More than 85% of Swedes live in urban environments: https://www.statista.com/statistics/45

"Many elderly people were administered morphine instead of oxygen despite available supplies, effectively ending their lives." This is from the abstract, but as far as I could find, this is never mentioned in the actual text of th

Is there a point you're trying to make with this question or are you just being defensive?

No, population density is how many people live in a certain area. They can live spread out over the entire area (rural) or concentrated in cities and similar (urban).

Why do you think population density matters? Does it matter that Swedish forests are large than Israeli deserts? What might/probably matter(s) is the degree of urbanisation.

Elm would be a great fit for that. The language, IMO, manages to be both simple and powerful. And the Elm compiler is a joy to use (great error messages and very fast). I haven't used ClojureScript though, so I can't offer any com

What's your point? That the US government would default on their loans?

However, schools should never treat stupid and intelligent children the same. Not everyone is cut out to be a rocket surgeon. But your argument means that we should hold back all future rocket surgeons and bring them to a lower level of pr

What you call "most and least gifted" is in my opinion better described as "most and least privileged". And coeducation of students of different levels of privilege just seems like a good thing, nothing that needs to be

You might be interested in Unison, where you edit code in text but let the manager/runtime handle the storage. It changes how you need to work with VCS quite a lot. https://www.unisonweb.org/ Also Dhall, a configurati

.NET Core does support both WinForms and WPF, but only on Windows (with no plans for other OS). Maybe that's what you meant and I just misunderstood? Regardlessly it used to be the case that .NET Core didn't support those GUI fram

Those are the worst flu seasons (in recent history) in Sweden.

This is an oversimplification. What specifics do you claim puts Sweden closer to the other Nordics than other European contries? For example, Sweden had school breaks around the time of the large outbreaks in northern Italy and Austria, lea

It does not matter if Sweden is the outlier - it is the other Nordic countries that instated (and maintain!) emergency measures regarding travel. I don't know how anyone could claim that changed behaviour is the mark of stability. I al

What a silly comment. The comment about masks seems particularly misguided now that it should be obvious that it was indeed possible to flatten the curve without mask mandates (or even recommendations). The travel restrictions that countrie

Considering that cases seem to be increasing again, there is obviously not herd immunity and thus that's not what happened.
