ABBA superstar Björn Ulvaeus told CNBC that the Swedish capital of Stockholm seems to be back to normal.

ABBA superstar Björn Ulvaeus told CNBC that the Swedish capital of Stockholm seems to be back to normal, despite the country reportedly seeing the highest number of coronavirus deaths per capita in the world this week.

"To begin with it sounded a very civilized way of quarantining, but then we've had so many deaths, so I think it's early days yet. We have to see, I mean, it's going to take at least half a year or so before we can decide whether our route was a good one or a bad one." Some schools remained open and the majority of the population continued to work, shop and visit bars and restaurants. Over-70s were urged to stay at home and limit close contact with others.figures from Our World in Data reported

"We haven't seen what the economy will do. That's not gonna bite I think until maybe the end of the summer or so, and that's really scary. And then there might be a second and a third wave of the infection, so we go into a different world.

I was waiting for this news, Thank You CNBC!

Do you ppl have editors? Who writes this crap

Now cnbc is relying on old entertainers to give medical advice,CNBC needs to get back to stock market and leave the medical news to someone else

What does Leo Sayer think?

Waiting on pins and needles for ABBA to show us the way.

Why is their opinion relevant ?

And we care about what ABBA says why?

Guess the Swedish Chef was unavailable for comment.

What?

Ummmm. ABBA is the definitive decider Mamma Mia!!!!!

What was the chef from The Muppets not available for comment!?

The renowned expert speaks, LoL. I guess it’s even a disease I. Sweden where celebrities know all

Lol

The experts always have such insight.

How disgusting to name a Queen after the Living Heavenly Father

ABBA star apparently knows something, eh?

Come on now. Did somebody actually do this with straight face?

Ha!!!! I can’t wait to hear the ABBA stars opinion WTF is this 👆🏻

Who gives a fuck?

How does ABBA think about the US economy and stock market? At least come up with something useful

Oh good, expert analysis

....highest rates on pro-rata.

Ok. But what does Abba have to say about the best path to follow in the pusrsuit if evidence of Dark Matter?

jesus christ Abba? you are turning to THEM for medical and response expertise? you are really scraping the bottom these days

Thanks I was wondering what a one hit wonder from the 70s opinion of epidemiology was.

Courageous move by Swedish society. The whole world owes them a debt of gratitude. So much will be learned scientifically when the pandemic comes to an end.

Their response was no response

Too funny

I know the schools are better over there and shit but does that motherfucker have a medical degree? Cause if not, then the hundreds of deaths over there would disagree.

Oh. Another expert

Mama Mia !

But there wasn't any coronavirus in 1974 !

There looks hasn’t changed in 40 yrs. what’s the secret?

Too busy hauling in the third world to do anything else.

Obviously they don’t fit in with American politics where everyone rushes to judgement before we know the whole picture

Late stage communist news network

CNBC journalists 🤡🤡🤡

This is like when Ja Rule was asked for his thoughts on 9/11

I clicked to see if it was Agnetha. Damn. Bjorn

Amazing! Thank you, CNBC. I was literally just wondering what ABBA thought of Sweden's COVID response....

Haha

Lets also check in with another expert, Greta Thunberg.

testing queen?

I was wondering what “ABBA” star thought about corona response

Sweden's response was and still is an absolute, horrifying disaster

Why?

Umm,no. Sweden is doing worse than their neighbors. They are way behind the infection count needed to reach herd immunity. Their economy has shrunk and is bracing for a major recession.

This was the only Swede you could think of?

No one cares what Fernando thinks.

Who next Santa.

ABBA star 🤷‍♂️

ABBA? SLOW NEWS DAY GUYSJESUS CHRIST....

Ex-Goldman chief economist says China's economic response to the coronavirus crisis has been 'timid''China's policy has been quite timid so far' compared to the economic response from many countries, said Jim O'Neill, a former Goldman Sachs chief economist. Exactly! They didnt let virus reach Beijing but they helped it to reach 180 nations. Doesn’t make any sense your report , if the the Chinese economy didn’t suffer like other economies why they should spend more please stop anti China attitude then talk study Chinese economy . Who would have ever thought Canadian media (I think CNBC is Canadian) would be so small minded.
