Sweden: 10M population, 18K cases, 2K deaths [0].

North Carolina: 10M population, 8K cases, 300 deaths [1].

Massachusetts: 6.8M population, 53.3K cases, 2730 deaths. [0]

Overlooking the fact that with 200% more cases Massachusetts has only 35% more deaths:

Sweden population density: 64 people / square mile.

Massachusetts population density: 890 (14x) people / square mile.

---

Stockholm population density: 5,200 people / square mile.

Boston population density: 13,800 (2.5x) people / square mile.

Correct me if I’m wrong, I think North Carolina’s outbreaks began a bit later than Sweden’s?
