  You don't know you passed the peak until you clearly passed the peak. This is not the case so far. (Just take the same graph and ignore the data after a certain date. If you go back to Nov 1, you would have thought you'd be over the peak already, but you arent) https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-11-22/swedish-pm-sends-covid-plea-to-nation-after-careless-response https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-11-22/swedish-p...

    > You don’t know you passed the peak until you clearly passed the peak. What manner of logic is this? Look at the plot: the daily case numbers are in decline. I don’t know what will happen three weeks from now, but I know that it’s factually incorrect to claim that cases are still increasing. By the same logic you’re using, the very article this is attached to is nonsense: you don’t know if cases in the UK will go up again tomorrow.
