I lived in Stockholm for a brief period 17 years ago.
Something I found very unsettling were how few older people there were around.
I grew up in south London so the idea of public transport being generationally diverse was ingrained in me.
This was just not the case in Stockholm.
My then girlfriend explained that many, many people would leave the city as soon as they retired.
I think this goes a long way to explaining some of the variations we see in the Swedish figures.
A large proportion of the most vulnerable to the disease aren't living in the areas with the highest population density.
I would also imagine the average health level in sweden is higher than the UK so those that do get it have more chance of not being affected as badly.
Just musing out loud.
