Why June and not July data ?
July is a lot more revealing.

Different stupidity but similar outcome.
Well, the chart is a month old. So let's update it and see if you are right, shall we?
1. Sweden had 10 deaths yesterday and 1 two days ago. So they pushed their daily death numbers from the 100 high by 90-95% down.
2. USA had 1.1K and 1.2K in the last 2 days, only 50% less than the 2.3K high. Not to mention the all time high infections in several states.
I see a huge difference, but don't let facts bother you.
Schwab only had June data.
I will update you after Schwab updates their data. I really have no dog in this fight since I am already over the hill and belong to the high risk group with underlying conditions.
If I am wrong when the new data arrives and indicates otherwise, I stand corrected.
Most of us don't have a dog in the fight.
The only ET members I know that actually live in Sweden...they don't post in this thread while posting in other threads about Covid-19.

There's another chart, first time I saw it, with the number of recovered Covid-19 positive people that did not require hospitalization the first time around...
They've now lost their IgG antibodies that's needed to protect them from re-infection.
They use the phrase that they're monitoring prior Covid-19 positive individuals and plan to release a chart soon to show a graph of the numbers of re-infection.
Simply, its a big threat to the theory of herd immunity but we're still mid-year of learning about this new disease. Yet, it does put more importance on a vaccine to get countries to herd immunity. Also, I'm more interested in knowing if re-infected...will the 2nd time be less symptoms or worst (Covid-19 is fighting stronger because its familiar with our immune system response).
They were not joking...this can become worst before it gets better.
By the way, Sweden's total number of Covid-19 positive cases and deaths have been declining this month of July although there was recently a one day spike on July 22nd.
In comparison to the U.S...really nothing to say but horror in the U.S. numbers.

A lot of folks want to compare Sweden to other areas. That's not really the point of my question but since we're at it let's compare Sweden and Michigan. They have roughly the same population. Sweden deaths without a lockdown 5666. Michigan deaths with a severe lockdown 6141. I think that just about says it all.
