        It's different. In Sweden there was herd immunity, as conclusively shown by the Health Agency in April by taking some pcr tests from weeks ago and multiplying the prevalence by an arbitrary but LARGE number. QED. Not *too* large. First version showed 300% within conf interval.

        When further testing by bodies not affiliated with the Health Agency showed very low numbers, herd immunity was still a fact because *drumroll* T-cells!

        It’s not like Sweden was doing all that great with the 1st wave either.

        Yeah, but our "experts" thought it was just a bit unfortunate and just due to bad organisation in the elderly care, yet totally worth it, because it'd mean it was all over and done with, and we'd get to relax and watch everyone else suffer a huge wave...

        Even many of us with a medical degree and some common sense could have told them that. I haven’t seen a person with a US flag in their handle and a MAGA hat as a profile picture try tell me about ‘T-cell immunity’ in a while.

        And even those of us without any medical background who simply remember, say 20%, of their undergrad level math classes, and asked: "Why are these idiots using a lin-y and not a log-y graph for plotting a fundamentally exponential phenomenon ?"
