| Comment | Sweden has done well so far....again it all depends on whether their methods have kept R below 1 or not. Bear in mind they're still effectively in lockdown, it's just not legally enforced. Almost everyone, as here, is still furloughed and working from home, and most businesses shut. They also have a big growth in care home deaths.
If when people start mixing again the R increases above 1, then we will lock down again. Again, what we don't know is how much mixing we can do without it going above 1, and as above that's literally all that matters. Maybe we'll be able to do a Sweden, maybe not. Nobody knows yet including the Swedes, who could turn out to be a cautionary tale. |
