They never locked down. Their rates of death per million (254) are far less that any other major European country other than Germany. They are about the same size population as Michigan, Ohio, Georgia or North Carolina. Michigan has a much higher deaths per million rate (388), but is totally locked down. Georgia has a much lower rate (113) and is now becoming the most open state we have. Both Michigan and Georgia suffered huge unemployment increases because of the pandemic... but Georgia is opening back up. Michigan is probably going to hit 40% unemployment and a collapse of its small businesses. Michiganders are miserable. Georgians have hope. How sad?
