Sweden registers record 7,240 new COVID-19 cases

 Quoting: Guythu


May be too early to tell, but it's looking like they're gonna peak at 1/3 the daily cases of Belgium and 1/10th the deaths with a similar population.

Their reporting is a bit wonky like Spain though, might take a couple weeks to know where they really stand.

Having a bit of herd immunity seems to lower the severity of cases... look at what's going on in Arizona now compared to July with similar case numbers.

Same thing is going on in New England... big case numbers but severe cases are much lower.
 Quoting: R. Wordsworth


There is no evidence that Sweden is anywhere near peaking. Quite the opposite infact.

The rule of thumb is deaths lag hospitalizations, hospitalizations lag cases. Bearing that in mind, Arizona's severe infecteds ratio actually looks slightly worse now than in did in summer.

As for New England, it's far too early to jump to conclusions. There needs to be time to see if there is the response in the lagging metrics. I suspect there will be that response, but even if there isn't it could be put down to the cases being in predominantly younger people (schools), mask wearing reducing the viral load or improved knowledge on how to treat. All these things would mean less severe infecteds and they are nothing to do with pre-existing immunity in the population.
