Yeah I think that will be a big factor in how it spreads, and shows that it is difficult to make direct comparisons between countries.

Up Curve its

Arista: Death

Zizu: Is that bad?

In total though, not today

Their death rate is still relatively low, but also they're still quite early in the "cycle" compared to other countries.

Mmmmm

Sweden
Sweden prepares for possible tighter coronavirus measures as deaths rise
Country, which has taken soft approach, has death rate higher than Nordic neighbours’

Sweden’s government is drawing up new legislation to allow it to take “extraordinary steps” to combat Covid-19, local media have reported, amid concern that its relatively soft approach may be leading to a higher death rate than in other Nordic countries.
Denmark and Norway are among the many countries to have imposed tough lockdowns, closing borders and shutting schools and non-essential stores, and Finland has isolated its main urban area around Helsinki. But Swedes are still able to shop, go to restaurants, get haircuts and send children under 16 to class.
On Sunday Sweden reported a total of 401 deaths so far from Covid-19, up 8% from Saturday and greater than the totals of its three Nordic neighbours combined

BBC interviewed a guy living in Stockholm, he said even though everything is open, people are not going out....interesting isn’t it

Not sure about that .. Sky showed footage of a crammed shopping precinct a few days ago .,

They will have seen how it's ravaged Europe, I can understand how that would make them more cautious about spending more time outdoors than it necessary.

Of Course.

Death Total update today

They're not worried , they just carry on as normal :bored:

its probably well within their medical capacity at the moment, if that changes, they will change their approach

So up from 591 ??

Nearly a 20% in deaths increase in just 24 hours !?

Yes they are far to relaxed

Looks like the last straw grabbers are left with Belarus.

Looks like it's weather orientated to me...roll on the summer.

What's your thinking?

The thing that got me was it started in china, yet spread rapidly westwards mainly..up through Italy and Spain in thier winters, than making its way to the colder areas as Spain and Italy started getting warmer..that pic is Sweden in April and they all have big warm jackets on and gloves of the leather variety...I believe it's looking for cold places as it sweeps the world..

It must have been a strong easterly wind in china the day it took off.
Probably bollocks, but it's what I believe:shrug:

Also remember two countries that haven't been as badly affected - New Zealand and Australia - have been in their summer

uv light kills it, so it can still pass person to person but it wont survive outside for long
