What's interesting is that Sweden has no quarantine and has been averaging around 400 to 500 new cases daily while UK quarantined everyone and has 4000 to 5000 new cases daily.

The interesting thing is that the UK has 60 million people while Sweden has 10 million people.

So according to those numbers...how effective is quarantine?
