    Sweden hasn't announced its cases for today, so it would do. Yesterday Sweden had 207. Denmark 179. Norway 86. Finland. 39.

    Sweden 5835 deaths. Pop 10.23m. Deaths/m: 570
    Finland 336 deaths. Pop: 5.518m. Deaths/m: 60
    Norway 264 deaths. Pop: 5.433m Deaths/m: 48
    Denmark 626 deaths. Pop: 5.806m. Deaths/m: 107

    Yes, my original figures were not taking account of population, but Sweden is at least 5x worse than the second poorest performing Scandinavian country and 10x worse than Finland or Norway.

    Sweden has +24% (5500) excess deaths this year - compared to Norway with none, and Denmark with 6% (200)

    Looks like a big falloff 2-3 weeks after the schools closed in early June to me (10th-15th depending on area of Sweden).

    Economy wise. Sweden have done worse than Norway and Finland - but better than Denmark.

    Scientists have independently found cases in different countries with second infections of COVID. First was asymptomatic (Hong Kong), second wasn't and a 30-something ended up in hospital (Nevada).

    Humanity has yet to develop immunity to any coronavirus.

    Immunity is the wrong term I suppose. It's more resistant as we are seeing with the vast majority of positive tests who are not ill. For most they wouldn't know they had it without a test. If we were seeing large scale re infections that were leading to serious illness we wouldn't have such low numbers of people in hospital. We wouldn't be seeing the same graph in almost every country with deaths going up fast then a steady drop off down to single figures.
    You are giving 2 examples of re infection it's not much of a sample size.
