FYI: Here's a report from the BBC:

There is still space in intensive care units and a new field hospital at a former conference venue is yet to be used.

Where’s Greta Dumbberg?

Sweeden had no choices.
Like Canada, their health system is crap

Greta went to Davos January 21
She got a dose of the corona, probably from a member of the China delegation.

China sent their largest delegation evah to Davos late January 2020

What is going on with lack of COVID-19 recoveries in Sweden? 71% of closed cases are deaths, while only 31% of closed cases are recovered.

[DoodleBob]

Plagiarist....we've been posting size- and time-adjusted fatality figures for a while.

I now declare that his charts are belongs to us. / rant / sarc

Before getting too excited about the “Swedish model” you might want to take a look at these charts & numbers posted by FReeper DoughtyOne. Sweden’s case number & deaths have been increasing

RE: Sweden’s Nordic neighbors: Norway: 201 deaths, Denmark: 418 deaths, Finland: 186 deaths and Sweden as of today, 2,192 deaths.

What are the deaths per million?

[SeekAndFind]

Also, how dense are the populations of each of the above Scandinavian countries?

[wastoute]

Sweden is ten million. I’m sure the others are less.

Here’s your answer about Finland.

[wastoute]

However Sweden does it certainly won’t be worse then NYC which is at about what, 25,000 deaths? They only have about 2K now. If they have a weaker version then NYC who knows, they could be “at the top” but double digits looks like still noise. We’ll know more in several days.

The other thing to consider is this — how would Sweden fare compared to the lockdown countries IN THE LONG RUN?

Let’s say, God forbid, after summer, Covid-19 comes back with a vengeance, which countries will have LESS death and hospitalizations?

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Let’s compare Sweden and Germany.

Germany 1851 cases per million-—69 deaths per million
Sweden 1800 cases per million-—217 deaths per million

I am hoping it works out ok in Sweden as I have many family and friends living there.

But if I were a resident in Europe right now, I would feel much safer in Germany.

[Nero Germanicus]

Sweden: 217 deaths per million
Norway: 37
Denmark: 72
Finland: 34
USA: 161

I’ve read that anyone with a biological age (note, not chronological age) over 70 is denied any special care. And anyone with a biological age of over 60 with one comorbidity is denied care.

So if your biological age is over 60 and you have high blood pressure or diabetes, the diagnosis of covid is a death panel in and of itself. Good luck to you and may the odds be ever in your favor!

Sweden has 1800 CV cases and 217 deaths per million.

Denmark has 1458 CV cases and 72 deaths per million.

Norway has 1382 CV cases and 37 deaths per million.

Finland has 808 CV cases and 34 deaths per million.
