Sweden's infection stats going down is completely consistent with the ten weeks nationwide summer vacation where they'd disperse into the vast forests anyways, pandemic or not. The curve flattened the moment schools closed (and all workplaces drop to the absolute minimal staffing because parents tend to sync vacation days with school vacations) and then collapsed once intra-family infection chains played out. Schools will reopen less than two weeks from now, another two weeks later we will have a clear answer.
