Covid-19 and the loss of life in Sweden

Sweden has taken a very different approach to dealing with Covid-19. It relies on the population becoming infected over time in order to build up a form of herd immunity. But is it the right one? Does the risk justify the outcome? How many people are likely to lose their life to this virus in the months ahead?

This video mathematically models the spread of this virus based on published data that is freely available in the public domain. It compares the number of deaths in Sweden with those of Australia and the UK.

The data used in this video can be found at the link shown below.


From the World Health Organisation, scientific brief, 24 April 2020.
"There is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection."
