Covid-19 Mortality Sweden
There was an article in Daily Mail quoting "Sweden sees just 77 new deaths in Corona virus".
I just checked the figures from the Swedish public health agency.(FOHM.se)
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8208397/Sweden-sees-just-77-new-deaths-coronavirus.html
Unfortunately the numbers are not accurate as well as the diagram
Sweden has 10.250 M inhabitants, 1/33 of US. We did have the highest daily motality on April 5th when 75 persons died in the Covid-19.
After April 7 the death numbers have plummeted to just 8 deaths on April 11
The second diagram from Daily Mail is OK. Please note that after April 5th they started testing the staff at institutions for eldely and the numbers of Covid-19 positives increased from 391 on the 6th to 739 on the 7th and from the 10th the newly tested had decreased to 330 on the 11th.
So it seems that the peak has been passed. But we'll see after Easter what happens.
