Cases are not the same thing as infections. Comparing cases between countries doesn't work, even when corrected for positivity rate. Deaths should be a more fair comparison. Then there are a lot more countries with higher death rate.

I didn't mean that it is fair to compare a metropolis to Sweden when it comes to "who did the right thing". But it is a fair comparison when considering the effects of longcovid.

Sweden only stands out when compared to Nordic countries, not when compared to the rest of the world. Thus bad effects from longcovid should be more visible in harder hit places.
