      Okay, smart people on Twitter, find the errors in this analysis of Sweden as a success story. https://twitter.com/seanmdav/status/1292801780515057665 …

      I don’t think that success/failure is the right framing for COVID-19. Sweden just chose to take their losses early and get it over with. They were extremely successful in avoiding the economic and social costs of lockdown.

      How did they get it over with if they are nowhere near herd immunity?

      I’m not sure what you’re basing your opinion regarding herd immunity on, but the herd immunity threshold can be as low as 6 to 21%, as discussed here.https://wattsupwiththat.com/2020/07/27/why-herd-immunity-to-covid-19-is-reached-much-earlier-than-thought-update/ …

      So 3% doesn't get it done, correct? That's where Sweden is at.

          I think 3% is a low estimate, 82,000 confirmed cases divided by 10 million is .008. Multiply that by 50 is 40% since so many are asymptomatic and never get tested as revealed by the antibody studies.

          I don’t think that we really have any idea what percentage of Sweden’s population has been exposed to the coronavirus, but given the fact that they never had lockdowns or school closures, I would guess that it’s much higher than 3%.

          Death rate suggests nowhere near herd.

          Based on antibody tests? Those tend to have high detection thresholds, resulting in systematic underestimation of infections.https://twitter.com/BallouxFrancois/status/1292607825420722178 …

          RT-PCR tests have low false-positive rates, but fairly high false-negative ones. As such, in anything, they tend to systematically underestimate the number of #COVID19 infections in the population. They same is true for antibody tests.

          The percentage needed depends on the population density. The areas which are high risk of large outbreaks such as Stockholm currently has a much much higher immunity, somewhere between 20-30%.
