3/ Fourth, I'm still not proud of Sweden's handling of this situation. I just spent the first 28 years of my life in the US on the east coast where it's been a complete catastrophe. Places like NY, TN, and FL. I'd rather be here in Sweden than there. Faint praise, I know.

5/ I agree that on a fundamental level, Swedes and the Swedish government need to stop comparing themselves to the bottom of the statistical barrel and realise their geographical neighbours have handled it significantly better.

6/ Nevertheless, despite the fact that around 15% of Sweden's population would like to see me beaten with pipes for being an immigrant and/or gay and/or non-cisgender (take your pick), my life here is objectively better than it ever was in the US.
