and they cite a CNN source. But then I look at this data plotted on a log chart and it appears they're leveling out:

I think it's way too early to make any inferences about which method is working better. There is a lot of noise in all the data.
- kenjackson 7y agoThe IHME model has been really interesting for Sweden. While Sweden is saying they have it under control the growth rate of their expected deaths is rising faster than any country. It was projected at about 10k by Aug 4 just a couple of weeks ago, but it is now over 17k expected to die in Sweden. Although they seem to be more OK as a country if their senior citizens die.
