that didn't explain why Sweden now has more cases than all others combined.They had human to human transmission before any of them. Swedish patient zero flew straight in from Wuhan on the 24th of January. I know that is news to you, but I was actually paying attention to the Wu-flu at that point, when people were making silly comments and memes and shitposting in my thread about it.
The nature of viral spreads is geometric. So when cases are doubling every certain number of days, a place can see such growth if it had a very long headstart. New York had 328 cases only 36 days ago. Their curve still isn't flat and it's in the tens of thousands of new cases per day. They have one of ths strictest lockdowns in the world. Aside from that, the Swedes seem to believe that their healthcare capacity is ready to absorb it. They are certainly absorbing it better than New York is.
if lockdowns dont' work, then Sweden should have less, not more.
