Are you worried about Sweden too?

Deaths flat in case you were wondering: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=sweden%20deaths%20coro...

Absolutely! I am worried about the entire world (for what my worry is worth). I simply currently live in the US, so it’s the only place I have significant first-hand knowledge of.

I in no way meant to imply that anywhere else was less deserving of worry.

Deaths do lag new cases, but something big Sweden has going for it is that a lot of Swedes live alone.

Deaths in Sweden have flatlined since the end of July. The lag is not nearly that big.

But new cases are up 10x from six weeks ago, and being exponential, most of those have been in the past few weeks. Still better than a lot of Europe, though.
