Odd, according to Worldometers statistics, there is roughly about 700 new infections per day in Sweden. This was same as couple months ago when I last checked. Meanwhile, in Norway there is only about 90 new cases (169 when adjusted to Swedens population) and in Denmark its 220 new cases per day (386 when adjusted to Swedens population)

However, while Swedens new infections have been in downward curve, Denmarks and Norways new infections are in a trending curve. Its hard to say how high the trend will take the daily cases, which could be higher than Swedens current rate in just a few months.

Something very positive about Sweden is that they seem to have gotten the deaths in control, as there is only about 20 deaths per day in the past few weeks. It used to be much higher, peaking around 115 deaths per day in April.

Herd immunity could be the answer after all
