Then I read on NPR that a town in Sweden has spread chicken manure to prevent crowds from celebrating Walpurgis Night:https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-52481096
Another article on BBC says 50% of deaths in Sweden are older people.  

Yet a different story on KQED radio referenced Lebanon.  Lebanon has about the same population as Mass.  It has had 1/10th the number of cases and only a couple dozen deaths.  This is because Lebanon put in strict quarantine enforcement early.
Anyway, I'd like opinions from someone more familiar with Scandinavia.
