The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has produced a report with a dozen mathematical comparisons between 25 European countries.
Topic: Evolution of the situation of the crown over eight months, from March to the end of October.
Almost all arrows point to Sweden as the worst in Europe.
Sweden is, among other things, the worst at reducing the so-called R number, the worst at reducing treatment time in hospital intensive care units and reducing population movements and therefore the risk of spread of infections.
The OECD has 37 member countries. 27 of the countries are located in Europe and all the Nordic countries are members.
Here is the full OECD report with corona status and covid-19 with different angles.
On Nordic news websites, the report with comments by Swedish state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell was first published by journalist Emmanuel Karlsten.
Tegnell: – Interesting
Tegnell was present when the OECD presented the large number of crown statistics. He thinks the report “is in many ways an interesting and exciting comparison.”
– Isn’t it, on the contrary, an extremely simple picture of the ineffectiveness of the Swedish strategy?asks the Swedish journalist.
– No, the OECD has not included the background of what is behind it. The description of the various comparisons is highly context-dependent to make any sense. It is very difficult to draw conclusions without that background, Tegnell responds.
Moves like before
Among other things, he points to a curve showing that Sweden has done the least of the 25 countries to prevent the population from moving less. Read: worst attempt to prevent risk of infection.
This comparison is made for the three months of March, April and May. Ergo before Sweden started to seriously toughen up.
Sweden tops this “worst statistic”, which shows that Swedes’ movements in daily life had only changed by 7.2% compared to normal.
Latvia ranks second in worst place here with just 8.2 percent change, Denmark number 3 from below with 9.7 percent and Norway number 5 from below with 11.9 percent reduction in movements of people in the first three months.
The worst are the best
The high contagion countries, Italy and Spain, fare better with a reduction of just over 20 percent in “migration.” But drastic restrictions had already been imposed.
A comparison between the 25 countries of the so-called R number (reproduction / spread of infection) shows that Sweden (58 days), Great Britain (54) and France (50) have clearly spent the longest time to get the R number below of 1.
This means that the average number of people infected with Covid-19 infects less than one other person.
In the new OECD statistics, which in this comparison span eight months, Norway appears as the seventh best at 27 days.
Malta is by far the best with 11 days ahead of Iceland with 18 days.

The average for EU countries is 34 days. Denmark has spent 38 days getting the R number below 1.
Self-criticism in a moment
Sweden’s state epidemiologist and outside voice / face are only criticizing themselves about Swedish driving at a time when they are facing massive negative statistics.
– One of the statistics points to the death rate among the elderly in Sweden. There we want to know what we know today, says Anders Tegnell.
