Thank you - if I divide each municipality by their population and multiply it by the US' 329MM total population (to put everything on national terms), Minnesota breaches the 1,000+ adjusted death mark on 4/2/20 while Sweden breaches that mark on 3/24/20.
Using the fatality count as of a few mins ago from GitHub, the size-adjusted fatality count on Day 13 (i.e., today for MN, Apr 5 for SE) is 4,084 for MN and 11,896 for SE, respectively.
Thus, things are going better in MN vs SE.
Thank you.
Minnesota is doing << than Michigan in the numbers.
Both are apparently running the same policy of shutting things down and seeking social distancing. I don’t understand why the disparity in outcomes. Michigan’s problems are centered in Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb Counties plus Detroit City which is counted as it’s own entity on the Michigan website. Minnesota is not having similar issues in MSP [Fraternal]Twin Cities.
Michigan is roughly the same population as Sweden and is likely well above Sweden in the numbers.
Not just the governmental policies arre at work here.
