Which countries did you plug in?
I gave one very big counter example: the US is social distancing at a rate roughly double that of Sweden and is getting worse results. It's also had multiple waves of deaths.
Canada isn't getting worse results, but is also roughly socially distancing twice as much as the Swedes.
The UK went down even further, down to -70% mobility.
Leaving the Anglosphere (what I'm most familiar with, sorry), Germany is now closer to Sweden, but was also below ~50% mobility. France was down to -84%!
And the Scandinavian countries: both Denmark and Norway was down to around -60%, and Finland was at around -50%.
All of these countries also rebounded from their social distancing "peak" much more slowly than Sweden.
At least among Western countries, I think a fair characterization is that while Swedes may have socially distanced on their own, based on mobility data, they did so less and for a shorter time.
- Barrin92 6y agoThese extreme values for France etc are projections into the future, I'm not entirely sure what they're basing it on. I've only looked at the graphs up to this day. For some reason they are saying that France will drop from -12% to -84% in one day, I guess they're saying the country will go into complete and utter lock down which I don't believe is true and definitely not a fact.
- wk_end 6y agoYou're misreading it I think; France dropped to -84% March 24-28th.
