Use of care and mortality due to corona/Covid-19 in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Estonia; data from 14.8.

Thread. (English).

Fig 1a-d. Number of persons in intensive and hospital care per day. 1/5

Fig 2a-b. Number of deaths per day (moving average).

The numbers on deaths/hospitalization are very low so few persons make a difference. 2/5

Fig 3a-b. Weekly total mortality in different countries early 2020 as compared to previous years + weekly cumulative deaths.

Not sure if data for Norway correct, delays?

Interesting here is to see if Sweden go below the historical average from now on? 3/5

Number of diagnosed Covid-19 cases have increased somewhat lately in those countries I follow, but still at quite low levels. 3/5

Fig 4a-d. Geographical differences within Finland: Nr of persons in care/day and daily verified diagnoses by the five “specialised medical care regions”.

Feels still critical but might be contained for now?
