By contrast, NYC likely had relatively unmitigated spread at (very rough guesses) an R of 2.5 to 3.0 (maybe even higher) for 2-3 weeks. That can be enough to overwhelm ICUs, even if the share of people who require ICUs is relatively low as a % of all infections. — PolitiTweet.org

Why aren't Stockholm's ICU's overwhelmed? Well, because ICU's being overwhelmed is a function of the *flow* and Stockholm's flow is never that high. Sweden *is* doing a lot of distancing, just not enough to get R < 1. It's the original "flatten the curve" strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

So what's misunderstood about Sweden 1) They ARE doing a fair amount of distancing even if some high-visibility stuff (e.g. restaurants) remains open. 2) ICU rates from COVID-19 are not all *that* high especially if you have a healthy population that treats its old people well. — PolitiTweet.org
