But a case is not an infection is it?

I'll try to type this more s l o w l y.

Active cases + Closed cases = Total cases of COVID-19

Active cases = active infection, still shedding virus, contagious

Closed cases = either recovered (cured) or dead (let me know if you need description for dead)

Sweden Total cases = 15,322 (active + closed)
Sweden Active cases = 13,007 (still contagious, infectious)
Sweden Closed cases = 2315 (either recovered or dead)

Sweden Closed cases: 550 Recovered and 1765 died

Note that more than 3x closed cases are dead rather than recovered.

Also note that 85% of Sweden's Total cases are still active.

Summary: These are grim statistics

So you are saying that infections and cases are synonymous? They are exactly the same thing? So that the number of infections is equally to the number of cases?

What utter nonsense. The virus is not killing them at ten times the mortality rate of other countries. It does not have a mind of it’s own and say you did something different so I’m gonna kill you 10 times more. When this all shakes out the death rate will be less than 1% worldwide. About an average really bad flu.
