Sweden is almost certainly growing faster than Norway. Norway is testing more broadly (note the 6x death rate in Sweden) and they have similar case count growth per day (implying Sweden might actually be growing 3x as fast factoring population difference).
Case counts also lag measures by 2 weeks.
- hjnilsson 7y agoCould just as well be statistical anomaly. Denmark (which has about the same population as Norway) has 50% more deaths per capita compared to Sweden, with stronger restrictions than Norway. With the numbers we’re looking at (10-100 deaths), a single nursing home being hit is the difference between entire countries. Any judgement on effectiveness needs weeks more of data.
- Symbiote 7y agoThe statistics change quickly: Denmark and Sweden now have the same number of deaths per capita, after 5 more in Denmark but 36 in Sweden.
