The COVID-19 pandemic

Overall now, economically and death toll, how has Stockholm done? If providing the death toll - a break down in ages would also be welcomed...

Stockholm has 2196 deaths to date, in total there have been 5808 in Sweden. That's 5.8 per million, equivalent to about 9000 deaths in Ontario. (I don't know what area they include in the Stockholm number so can't really compare.) I have not seen a breakdown by age, but, like Canada, long-term care homes were hit very badly in Sweden.

This chart is for cases, not deaths, shown by week number:



They are testing at about 2/3 of the level of Ontario, with 1.6% positivity for the last week -- about 3x that of Ontario, with a lower level of testing. Even so, the percentage of population with antibodies is only in the single digits based on the tests that have been done.

Swedish GDP was estimated to have dropped 8.6% in Q2, while the estimate for the Canadian GDP was a drop of 11.5%
