Italy has six times the population of Sweden, but the geographical size is only about 65% of Sweden, leading to much more densely populated regions. In addition, Italy is well known for its housing situation, multi-generation homes are the norm across large parts of the countryside, annulling any advantage one might get in rural areas compared to cities. Sweden has one of the highest rates of single-person households on the globe.

What ? density of what ?...

What's with these bullshit comparisons of yours?

You have to accept that every nation has MULTIPLE factors that come into play - both negative and positive.

Japan is an island country and therefore has a HUGE advantage over continental nations. Also the people there are used to wearing masks so they are far more effective at keeping the spread low.
