But when you look at the average distance between two random people who live in the same town/city it would probably indicate that lack of contact doesn’t explain any success they’ve had with their numbers

Elsewhere people have already pointed this out: Swedes also have smaller families and a large proportion of people living alone, which (positively) contributed to numbers more than population density.

Which is why Tegnell had the gall to blame immigrants for the spread of Covid-19. Immigrants live in more densely populated areas.

And all this still doesn't explane a significantly larger mortality rate than immediate neighbors that have similar populations.
