But our confirmed cases is now steady even with increased testing, same with our daily reported dead, it's stable or in a slight decline. This can only mean that about 25-30% of stockholm must be immune otherwise it would just keep increasing and increasing.

As for getting down from the peak, that is not the goal from what I know. Our virus dude (Anders Tegnell) said he aims to hover around R1, this could mean slightly higher or slightly below. I'm hoping he will increase the R number as you can't ask the vulnerable people to remain isolated forever, maybe 2-4 month and they will stop isolate themself.

Where did Tegnell say that he "aims to hover around R1"? These are the latest estimates released by the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs:

Date R
2020-04-18 1.01
2020-04-19 0.97
2020-04-20 1.00
2020-04-21 0.98
2020-04-22 0.96
2020-04-23 0.93
2020-04-24 0.89
2020-04-25 0.85

From what I've read Tegnell has been cautiously optimistic about the downward trend shown by these estimates, but if he aims for an R-value of 1 then he'd actually want the value to go back to 1 again?
