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

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

There's also been a hell of a price. Sweden has death rates (importantly: as a share of the overall population, *not* of infections) 3-7x higher than their neighbors. And I hesitate to think what would happen if we tried this in the US with a less healthy population. — PolitiTweet.org
