I do wonder how much of their 'success' has to do with the limited travel coming into Sweden this time of year....I suspect that travel to Sweden in January/February is pretty low compared to other times in the year...as well as compared to the number of people from all over flying into NYC in January/February

We can learn from everyone, however, I sense that comparing what's going on in Sweden to the States is a little like trying to compare apples and oranges
I agree. Another factor is the closeness of people living together, like New York City and Miami. They apparently don't have that in Sweden to the extent we do.
