jv-
And why are cases growing so slowly in Sweden?
Like mentioned before, afaik Sweden has cut down on testing as they consider the data from it to be of low value. Reading between the lines in the press we've also had a spike in cases from a few Stockholm suburbs with a large Somali population where the news hasn't come through properly due to language barriers.
So if we're only measuring the outbreak from hospital cases we've had a spike from an isolated area that doesn't match the rest of the population, hence why the curve has slowed down a bit.
I'd imagine our curve could be a bit flatter as well as we're a sparsely populated country and fairly anti-social even in the best of times. Compare this to Italy where you have a coffee at a bar on your way to work every morning and also gather several generations on a weekly basis. Good traits normally, not so much now.
Obligatory not that this ^ is just my personal take on it, it's not properly researched etc etc

The UCL page has plots on linear scales. The logarithmic scale makes it easier to compare doubling rates.
