But what is a “case”?

Your honesty is appreciated. I will help you to interpret the graph. Nothing "clever," not trying to trick you.

A closed case as illustrated in the graph is a person with COVID-19 infection who is no longer deemed actively infected. There are two ways this occurs, either by 1. recovery, or 2. death.

The graph illustrates that in Sweden, there are 3x more closed COVID-19 cases due to deaths than recoveries through April 21, 2020.

In summary: This is a grim statistic.

But a case is not an infection is it? If it were then the number of cases would be equal to the number of infections. So please explain the difference between infections and cases.

[FreeReign]

Sweden is 10th in the number of deaths per capita and 31st in the number of cases per capita.

I suspect that the number of Sweden's cases is under reported.

That's not as grim.

LG thanks for teaching us. It was very hard to figure out that chart what would we have done without you. Go back to being terrified
