I'm so relieved that the Swedes have done everything correctly, the only issue that the entire world doesn't understand them and their brilliance. On the flipside, Swedish media and officials have a full and comprehensive take on the goings-on in other nations, naturally.

Number of daily cases start climbing early june in Sweden.
What happend, you guys were basically holding even, in daily cases for along time, and the last 2-3 weeks its been climbing upwards.
So far deaths seem to hold stable too (which is good, not seeing more deaths dispite more cases).


You guys are 55th in testing ranked by test/1m population.
However your positivity rate is only ~15%, so your testing actually isnt that horrible.
(the USA has a positivity rate of ~8,1% of their tests, Brazil ~45%, UK ~3,9%, Mexico ~39%)

I think the spread of the virus in sweden actually isnt as bad as many probably think.
Ei. the % of the population who have been infected is probably not that high.

Well it's incredibly bad when you compare it to other Nordic states, however it's "just" bad when comparing it to other European countries like Spain, Italy or the UK.

On a worldwide scale, there are definitely countries that handled it even worse but aren't quite there yet due to testing even less and undercounting deaths. Brazil probably being the worst at the end of the day.
