I know it’s a Sunday, and Sunday numbers are always relatively small, but today’s deaths total for the U.S. was the lowest I’ve seen since March, and it seemed worth posting.

Thanks.
A good article in FORBES suggests SWEDEN's model is likely a failure,
having gained only 7.3% of the population with antibodies - and even
then no guarantee that those same people WON'T be re-infected at
some point.
It also points out that sweden has a much less population density
as well as lower percentage of the population with pre-conditions
known to pose a higher risk.
It also points out that last week, Sweden's rolling 7-day average
showed the highest death rate per capita in Europe, overtaking
badly hit countries including UK, Belgium and Italy.
Sweden has a population of 10.1 Million and 4,000 deaths.
If they kept the same rate of deaths but with the same population
as US then they would be now approaching 131,000 deaths.
As bad as the US is, the Swedish model is at least 33% worse.
And that is in a country with undeniably far less international
travellers (potentially infected) entering Sweden in February and
March as they do in USA.
