Not sure why this myth of only comparing to Sweden's nordic neighbors is legit. The virus was spread around the world by travelers, some countries got heavily seeded. Some didn't. It also depends on where your visitors were coming from.
Sweden gets more visitors than Finland or Norway.
Can your pipe dream explain these graphs? Sweden's death totals are plummeting just like USA. No lockdown, no masks to explain it.
Sweden's case rate is plummeting now, while USA is going up! What the heck is going on? USA can blame surge of new cases on reopening and protests. What do we blame Sweden's plummeting cases and deaths on?? Give me your best theory.
I wonder if Sweden has reached some sort of immunity threshold, while USA has not.
Also a little known fact, 75% of Sweden's death total came from nursing homes. Everybody got that one wrong. USA is about 40% If Sweden had been smarter about the highest risk group, their overall strategy would be looking great now. If places with huge surges in new cases get more deaths, Sweden might look even better if their cases and deaths continue downward.
