Sweden only has 18K reported cases which is obviously nowhere near 30% of Stockholm, and there doesn't seem to be any public data indicating otherwise, please include a reference to data points if there's anything out there to substantiate the claims by the Ambassador.
- matt_the_bass 7y agoGreat points. I’d love to hear counterpoints from those who downvoted.
- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoAntibody studies have proven that the headline numbers in pretty much every country are extreme underestimates.
- DanBC 7y agoFor Stockholm to reach herd immunity they'd need about 580,000 - 600,000 people to have had the infection and recovered. This is about 60% of the population. They haven't got anywhere near that. And none of the flawed antibody studies show anything like this level of infection.
- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoSorry, I've been in this loop before, where I provide exhaustive evidence for the proposition and then people show up to ask what agenda I'm pursuing since everyone knows that already. I'm just not up for another round right now.
- maxander 7y agoSurely, if you’ve been putting up exhaustive evidence many times before, you could take a second to link to one of these studies you mention? Otherwise your comment carries much less weight, and you should expect the sort of response you just got.
- jobigoud 7y agoIs it possible that the same reason Sweden has been relatively spared despite its strategy, that is, everyone is already practicing social distancing culturally, means that not a lot of people are actually infected?
