It’s not like there are no interventions at all in Sweden. I haven’t been at the office since early March. People are restricted in traveling and crowds over 50 people are forbidden etc.

And perhaps most significantly of all, people with the disease in outbreak areas aren't travelling to Sweden in large numbers like they were to the UK before it was forced into aborting the 'Swedish strategy'. The other side of that coin is that Sweden isn't forecasting better economic performance this year than the countries which had bailouts.

They haven't stopped dying, though: Yesterday, Sweden had 74 deaths. Norway, meanwhile, hasn't had a single death in 9 days.

> Yesterday, Sweden had 74 deaths.

That's a pretty noisy value since sunday reported zero. Because there is no weekend reporting, a 7 day average is better. That average is around 45.

Actually on the 3rd of June there was 1 death attributed to COVID-19. This is very likely to increase as we get more confirmations and backfills the data. The other 73 deaths reported are confirmed cases for other days.

Yes, the data is very noisy, and yes, much of it is backfill, but elementary queuing theory suggests that if deaths by reporting date keep oscillating around the same level, deaths by occurrence date will eventually converge to that level as well.

Depends on how much more they have, if their hospital is not overwhelmed, its acceptable.

>Norway, meanwhile, hasn't had a single death in 9 days

But Norway has lockdown ? of course its a trade off

> But Norway has lockdown ?

No it doesn't. We have prohibitions on large gatherings but private individuals may come and go as they please, visit each other's houses, etc.
