Comment Understanding Sweden, expected mortality is .26% (Score 2) 467

A key figure to understand about Swedenâ(TM)s reported numbers is that we (yes Iâ(TM)m a Swede) early skipped testing the general public for covid-19. The confirmed cases we report are only the ones admitted to hospital care and they are limited. To be admitted and tested you need to pass both phone-screening and triage (roughly 22000 confirmed nation wide) If you are not sick enough youâ(TM)re instructed to stay at home until recovered or in really need of hospital care. All deaths with suspected infection are however tested (roughly 2700 confirmed). Conclusion: You canâ(TM)t directly compare confirmed cases with deaths. But hereâ(TM)s some rough numbers for the greater Stockholm area pop. 2,5M: 1600 deaths and 10000 confirmed cases BUT the estimated number of covid-19 cases at May 1st is around 25% or 625000, mortality is then just .26%. This number is well inline with other findings. Source The Public Health organization of Sweden https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.folkhalsomyndighet...
