Sweden has a much lower amount of travelers as opposed to New York.
Simply looking at the math, on an average day I come across over 100 people which now is down to close to zero. Just by my actions alone, the virus should spread less.
I’m not contradicting that point but to say that the distancing doesn’t reduce death given that nyc and Lombardi have 4 times the amount of deaths during the same period. Same thing with France iirc.
