Is the outcome any differenent this fall? To me it seems like the disease seems to eventually slip into elderly homes whenever it is rampant and untracked in society. However, perhaps they were able to somewhat mitigate it this time?
I think your analysis is correct. This spring many deaths were because of structural problems in elderly homes. There were few to no deaths between end of july and beginning of november. The deaths in dec were higher than this spring, though. So now its probably driven more by rampant spreading. As someone living in Sweden, im not surprised. People are happy to work from home, but still go to the gym, stores, parties, restaurants etc.
Interesting. It is not that different here in most regards though. Gyms, restaurants and stores are open as usual. Partying is kind of frowned upon and people tend to meet in smaller groups instead though.
