Low official case numbers in Sweden are meaningless. They made a strategic decision not to track untested cases which would be presumed COVID-19 cases in most countries and they perform an almost negligible number of tests in Sweden which are officially restricted to be used for certain specific at-risk demographics.
The number of deaths per capita will give a clearer picture of the underlying situation comparing against the rest of Scandinavia, but that of course lags behind the number of cases by a few weeks.
- zajio1am 6y ago> they perform an almost negligible number of tests in Sweden According to https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ , they have about 9k tests per 1M pop, which is lower (half of Denmark or 3/4 of Finland, but higher than France or UK), but definitely not negligible.
