A huge challenge in Norway, was that all our retired ethnic Pakistani people panicked and booked flights from Pakistan to Norway. They didn't trust that Pakistani hospitals would handle the pandemic. Sweden probably has a lot more foreign residents with swedish citizenship than Norway?
Even though we have relatively few immigrants, at times, more than 50% of all the covid-infected belonged to these groups.

- sandos 5y agoI firmly believe that to be part of the answer, our "CDC" also said as much in 2020. Lots of clusters of infection popping up in parts of the population that lives very tightly and in large family groups, and those are predominantly immigrants and their kids. Im not sure how it looks in the third wave though. That and the care homes for elders were a big problem early on, but lately it seems to be a more general spread which is probably even harder to stem. I have not yet seen anyone try correlate socio-eoconomic status and/or overcrowding to infection in a nice way?
- sandos 5y agoActually it turns out our "CDC", folkhälsomyndigheten has a report on just these factors: https://www.folkhalsomyndigheten.se/contentassets/2dddee08a4ec4c25a0a59aac7aca14f0/utrikesfodda-och-covid-19.pdf https://www.folkhalsomyndigheten.se/contentassets/2dddee08a4... Mostly in swedish.
