Population density is meaningful only locally... so a country such as australia can have very low population density nationally, but a high one in one of the large cities.

Population densities of both Jerusalem and Stockholm are high enough for covid to spread fast, and forrests and deserts are empty enough to make it hard for covid to spread. Averageas are meaningless here, because even statisticians can drown in a river with average depth of 0.5m.
