Sweden's case is becoming more and more bizarre. The Swedish Public Health Agency said yesterday that 600,000 Coronavirus infections could be expected by May 1. Today, they said that was an error but didn't give any explanation as to why the error occurred.
Ok, I have this to share this time. If we look at only closed cases - the cases which gets closed by either death or recovery - the Sweden's numbers are outliers.
Closed Cases
Italy - Recovered 68 %/ Deaths 32 %
Spain - Recovered 80 %/ Deaths 20 %
France - Recovered 66%/ Deaths 34 %
Germany - Recovered 95 %/ Deaths 5 %
US - Recovered 64% / Deaths 36%
UK - NA
Denmark - Recovered 93 %/ Deaths 7 %
Sweden - Recovered 22%/ Deaths
78 %
I seem to not understand that. Okay, but wait. Norway reports just 32 recovered and 187 deaths. So may be Norway and Sweden have some different criteria for what is considered recovered?
Also, Sweden total death per million now 192 against Norway's 32 and Denmark's 66. Could Sweden have a point at the end? Or could they end seeing more loss than gain? Time will tell.
