Brussels, August 20 (RHC)-- In Europe, Spain, France and Croatia have recorded their highest rates of infection since ending strict lockdowns earlier this year. 

Meanwhile, in Sweden, health officials recorded the nation’s highest six-month death toll in over 150 years during the first half of 2020.  This week journalists obtained e-mails showing Sweden’s top epidemiologist pushed to keep schools open so that children would spread COVID-19 and push the population toward “herd immunity.”  He also asked a colleague whether a higher death rate among seniors might be acceptable.
