Sweden has about the same rate as Norway and a lower rate than the EU...
plus 1 death per day on the 7 day average.

Every area of Sweden is now red for infection level. The majority of EU countries are urging their citizens not travel to Sweden.
The reality is that Norway has a lower COVID infection level than Sweden. But the infection level in the EU country making the decision to ban travel to/from Sweden does not matter - it may be yellow, orange, and red.... they simply do not want people traveling to/from any country that is red (which admittedly is the majority of Europe over the past two weeks). It should be noted that Sweden is red -- just like many other European countries -- their COVID response provided no advantage in current infection level assessment.
Welcome to Sweden - Enjoy your local lockdown
Sweden’s hands-off approach to local lockdown
Uppsala goes into voluntary lockdown because of spike in coronavirus cases.
https://www.politico.eu/article/sweden-coronavirus-local-lockdown-uppsala/
Welcome to local lockdown, Swedish style.
Uppsala, a city of 230,000 people about an hour’s drive north of Stockholm, on Tuesday became the first place in Sweden to announce tougher localized guidance aimed at slowing a spike in cases of COVID-19, which authorities say has put hospitals there under pressure.
Residents were told to avoid public transport and not to socialize with anyone they don’t live with.
On Thursday, signs stuck to bus doors told passengers to board “only if they had to.” Posters on the sides of rubbish bins said: “The danger is not over.”

Swedish approach to fighting COVID-19 takes a turn as cases spike
Coronavirus cases have doubled in Sweden in just three weeks as the wheels fall off the country’s vaunted approach to tackling COVID-19.
https://www.news.com.au/world/europ...e/news-story/f6a717f462db065dcb0be94dee5292b9
Coronavirus cases have exploded in Sweden as authorities try to keep hold of twin battles – containing the virus and controlling the narrative.
The breakaway Nordic nation divided experts by refusing to lock down its citizens when the virus swept through the country earlier this year.
But a devastating second wave has forced a dramatic rethink as infections threaten to derail any gains that were achieved by taking a now notoriously relaxed approach to the pandemic.
Regions have been effectively locked down to contain a doubling of COVID-19 cases in just three weeks.
David Steadson, an Australian former public health researcher now living in Sweden, told news.com.au the region where he lives is experiencing a disturbing rate of new infections.
“Sweden has now seen a doubling in cases in three weeks, hitting more than 1000 new cases in one day for the first time since June,” he said.
“Hospitalisation and ICU numbers are also starting to increase.”
He said Uppsala, north of Stockholm, where he and his family live, has seen more than double the total number of infections in the last two weeks, forcing authorities to introduce new restrictions.
“While most Swedes won’t call it lockdown, the key takeaway is, where possible, to avoid all contact with people outside your own family.
“(Authorities are) explicitly stating not to have social events and work from home if at all possible.”
Time magazine reports that Sweden’s per-capita death rate as of last week was 58.6 per 100,000 people and that average daily cases rose by 173 per cent from early September to early October “with particularly dramatic increases in cities such as Stockholm and Uppsala”.
The Washington Post reports that Sweden’s cumulative death total from infections is 10 times higher than neighbouring Norway and Finland and five times higher than Denmark.
“Registered cases in Sweden are slightly above 106,300, compared with around 13,800 in Finland and 16,600 in Norway – each with about half the population of Sweden,” the Post reports.
And the UK Times reports that new cases each day have risen on average from 160 in September to almost 700 in October.
Mr Steadson, who used to work for the University of Queensland, says the Swedish government is looking at changing the law – “and if necessary the constitution” – to make requirements “law” rather than expect the population to do the right thing voluntarily.
“They expect it will take months to do, so it’s in anticipation of future crises and won’t be ready until next summer,” he said.

Sweden has a death from Covid of 1 death per day right now.
That is super low compared to most of Europe.
The fear being spread by your bullshit is insane.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/
cases are going up... but their percent positive and infections per million is below the EU average and many countries like Spain, France, Italy and many others.
