Okey guys, there's a fun mystery happening here in Sweden that I have wanted to make a post about. First I just wanna point out that we had a superb week, our numbers were just too good, so don't be surprised if our numbers might be slightly worse next week.

There is no mystery here.

Basically it boils down to summer arriving in Europe. People travel more, socialize more, start to forget (intentionally or not) that the virus is still here.

The best example is India. They had low counts for weeks (whether believable or not). Then the Government shut down public transport and other stuff (like in any other country) as counter measures. What this meant that millions of day-workers in the big cities no longer had a job and started to walk back to their villages. Taking the virus into the country. And India started to report high numbers.

The worst example is Brazil where everything comes together (Minitrump, social problems, etc, the full program). Muslim countries have been on the rise, too, basically a result of Ramadan.

Yes this is exactly what I mean, how can Stockholm manage to reduce confirmed cases by 50%. If immunity level is low it should not be possible. I hope the trend continues, maybe in June they have manage to reduce it by 80-90% :)
