I don't know, Giesecke sounds overly optimistic to me. And I'm pretty sure it's Stockholm specifically that might be heading towards herd immunity, not the country as a whole, and it's probably based on a recent blood test where 11 out of 100 tested persons had antibodies against the virus. Could be a good sign but it's not enough to draw any conclusions from.

11 out of 100 ??? That's what he's advising the country on what to do. And I thought Trump was irresponsible.

Well they did 2 tests with blood donors, so at least that's a sample size of a whole 200!

There are almost 1 million people in Stockholm.

For stockholm there are 2.3 million people if you count metro.

As for the test, our CDC (folkhälsomyndigheten) estimate there's 20-30% infected right now in stockholm based on that test. Something about the test is 1 week old and it's only has 70-80% accuracy but gives no false positives, some other minor stuff too.
