- IkmoIkmo 6y agoThey have around 10k tests per 1 million, that's not regarded as very little. US keeps saying it tests the most in the world and it's at 14k. Korea is known for massive testing, at 10k. Rich and well-struck countries like UK/France tests fewer cases. They're not top testers but definitely significant testers. In part it helps that they're one of the least dense countries in the world at around 20 people per square kilometer, compared to say 400/500 for the Netherlands and South Korea. The difference is less pronounced in cities of course but still there (when will we ever get population density figures for the median person who is weighted towards living in proximity, rather than a country-wide average)
- tilolebo 6y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_testing#Virus_testing_statistics_by_country https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_testing#Virus_testing... Sweden is n. 35 in "Tests / million people", that's not good enough IMO. 16% of the tests are positive! How else do you want to control how the virus spreads? On what data do they base their decisions?
