Lot's of bullshit & lies about Sweden. Are you jealous SWE is one of the best countries in the world?

Jail time?... Absolute bullshit...

They eat a lot of bacon. That helps.

Beacuse we spit in mr Deaths face. Coolest people on earth.

No second wave here. Maybe correct approach

But are the Swedes going to get sick in 2-3months time?. Who knows if out there time will change.

I can see number of ladies is higher than for men.
