And we are supposed to believe Sweden is doing better than us?
Either number is based on very imperfect, very as yet numbers, which mean not so much until an epidemic has run it’s course.
My guess is that since we have done more to shelter folks from joining herd immunity with mild cases this year, when a second wave arrives this fall it will be bigger here than it will be in places like Sweden, and by Spring of 2021 Sweden’s cumulative death rate will not be worse than the U.S.
