Again the lowest daily number since March 10th's total of 98. All of this without shutting the economy down and no surge like we have now. So, Sweden did make a mistake by not encouraging the older part of the population to take precautions early enough but then again, who knew at the beginning of this whole mess? You can verify this data here: Sweden Coronavirus: 78,048 Cases and 5,639 Deaths - Worldometer

My bottom line is it looks like Sweden is ahead of us now due to herd immunity.
Thanks for posting facts. 75% of Sweden's death total came from nursing homes. Everyone missed the danger for these very old and vulnerable.

Yes there are many countries that currently have no surge. These are most likely due to a low herd immunity threshold as I have explained. Florida should get there very soon at the rate we are going.
