Not everyone else has. NY's graphs, of both disease and death, are similar to Sweden's, and SURPRISE it doesn't have a 2nd wave either.
All I need to say that is that they did something different to postulate that the result might be different (and so far, has). I acknowledge there is no proof either way, but you are just putting hands in your ears and saying "I can't hear you, my position is right by default so there". This argument is over as far as I am concerned.

Coming back after a few days to point out that, as SHOULD SURPRISE ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, Sweden seems to be well into what appears to the start of a second wave: https://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/?chart=countr...
Do you care to revisit your assurance that this couldn't happen and that the one outlier (no longer an outlier) of Swedish data might not have been the best reference for informing US policy?
(Edit: I love the near synchronous downvote in a week old thread. That's just... <chef's kiss>)
That everyone else has? Again, the only way for you to make your argument work is to argue that Sweden is somehow special in a deeply unique way. All I need to say is that they're probably just lucky.
