First, the difference in per capita deaths has dropped to ~33% (543 per 1M in Sweden vs. 406 per 1M in the U.S.).
Also, New York and New Jersey has had 3 times as many deaths per capita as Sweden. Connecticut and Massachusetts 2 times as many deaths per capita as Sweden. Nine states in total have had more deaths than Sweden, and two others about the same as Sweden.
More importantly, given the current trajectories of the two countries, it is likely that U.S. deaths per capita will exceed Sweeden's. Over the last 7 days, deaths in Sweden have averaged ~3 per day. In the U.S. it's been 556 per day. In other words, our deaths per capita are currently almost 6 TIMES that of Sweden. Now, things could change, but I'm not sure Sweden has been that much worse than the U.S. (In part because contrary to what many continue to believe, Sweden did not continue on with business as usual. They absolutely did not.)
Having said that, anyone who thinks Sweden will reach herd immunity (before the U.S. or otherwise) is delusional. Sweden is not "closer to the finish line." Hell, we have 30% more cases per capita than Sweden, albeit with twice as many tests per capita. Come, say, August, it is highly likely that the U.S. will have had a higher number of people per capita that had the virus than in Sweden. Of course neither country will ever be even remotely close to so-called "herd immunity" without an effective vaccine. Herd immunity, especially for a virus like Covid-19 that is easily transmitted, requires well over 50% of the population (probably >70%) be immune to the virus. Unless you throw Covid parties and are willing to put up with millions of deaths, it ain't happening. It would be criminal for any politician or government official to try to put us on a path towards herd immunity.
In other words, and to no one in particular here, wear a ****ing mask, dipshit.
