Thanks for the great information. That’s very interesting about Sweden, I didn’t know that. I also would have thought that would be the better approach but after looking at the numbers you posted, perhaps not.

Sweden certainly has a lot more cases than her neighbors, so I had to look up the population of the three countries. Sweden has a little less than double those of her neighbors. The other three have a little more than 5 million, while Sweden has about nine million. So it looks like the number of cases aren’t a whole lot different percentage-wise, except for Finland who has half the amount.

But what I find interesting is Sweden’s fatality rate of those with the virus is about 6.6%. Denmark fatality rate is about half that, while Finland and Norway have a fatality rate hovering around 1%.

So rather than look at what Sweden is doing I really wonder what Finland is doing. They have half of the number of cases based on her population than her neighbors. And the fatality rate of those cases is around 1%.

If I’m reading it all correctly.

Thanks DoughtyOne.

The ND/TD plot from last night:

Daily percentage of new Corona virus deaths to previous day's total by country. 25% = total deaths double every 3 days, 20% = every 4 days, 15% = every 5 days, 10% = about 1 week, 5% = about 2 weeks.
