Has anyone offered a good explanation of how Sweden managed to contain the pandemic? Three weeks ago, it had 1800 cases a day. Yesterday, it had 34. That's with no new lockdown, no mask mandate. They're nowhere close to herd immunity, so that's not it.
Just to be clear, I'm not saying Sweden's strategy worked - the per capita death toll there has been staggering. I just don't understand why the virus apparently stopped spreading, without the country taking dramatic new measures to stop it.
"Swedish summer" just started, after midsummer. Most of the professional workforce is off work, could that be related?
Nope. Epidemic has been in steady decline since early April, when all current measures were in place.https://twitter.com/JacobGudiol/status/1283308801043636231?s=20 …

Where did you get your statistics from? However - Sweden is in vacay mode right now. Schools and work places are closed. People are outdoors a lot more than previous months. https://c19.se/en
Still we reported 29 new deaths today, while for instance NYC reported zero(0).
How do you know they’re not close to herd immunity? Actual number of cases may be 10-20x greater than those identified through testing. Also, not as hot, so people not driven indoors to air conditioning.
There's no evidence that herd immunity is a thing for COVID-19.
