Sweden has 10 million people.
9000 out of 10 million is 0.0009%.
If we only look at the known infected, 9000 out of half a million is 0.018%.
Most of those possibly old, fat and with diabetes. Fuck them.
The way people react to covid, you'd think it's the black plague. Which is
9000 out of 10 million is
(9,000 / 10,000,000) * 100 == 900 / 10,000 == 9 / 100 == 0.09%
9000 out of half a million is
(9,000 / 500,000) * 100 == 900 / 500 == 1.8%
Damn it, I forgot to multiply by 100. I think it's because I'm used to excel doing that for you whenever you format a cell as a percentage.
Anyway, thanks for providing the correct numbers.
