The graphs in the report speak for themselves.
In 11 weeks, Sweden reduced the number of new patients in the intensive care unit as much as the Netherlands and France did in just four weeks.
Out of 28 countries, Sweden has been the worst at changing population movement patterns. While Spain reduced mobility by 22.2 percent between March and May this year, Sweden has only reduced it by 7.4 percent.
The figures come from the international organization OECD, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, where Sweden is compared to 36 other member countries based on factors such as the economy and health.
Tegnell: “It is difficult to draw different conclusions”
Journalist Emanuel Karlsten was the first to report on the new figures, which also claim that Sweden had the biggest problem of the countries analyzed in getting the R number below 1. Thus, getting Swedes to infect less than one person on average.
It took Sweden 58 days, while Spain, which has been one of the worst affected countries in Europe, managed it in 34. Iceland finished in just 18 days.
Emanuel Karlsten asks Anders Tegnell if the figures do not seem “extremely flattering” for the Swedish strategy, and he responds:
– No, because it has not included the context behind it. The different curves are highly context dependent and it is very difficult to draw these different conclusions.
“I wish we knew what we know today”
The OECD also believes that more studies are needed and that it is currently difficult to draw conclusions about the connection between countries that close quickly and the rapid reduction in the spread of infection. However, it seems clear that the countries that were the first to ban large public gatherings thus reduced the spread of the infection more rapidly.
Tegnell, on the other hand, claims that the report pointed to the death rate in Swedish nursing homes:
– There they wanted us to know then what we know today.
