Total confirmed COVID-19 cases per million people - Our World in Data
The problem with this comparison is that the US is not only 33 times the size of Sweden but that the current outbreak looks contained only because New York, Michigan’s and a couple of other hot spots are beginning to be contained. Meanwhile states that are less dense and have not issued stay at home orders or worse, are assuming that the entire state is safer now that one hotspot is peaking (Georgia) will now have new and much worse outbreaks because the are seeded with untested, asymtomatic, contagious people.
