Not to belabor the point, but I do not think one country can be compared with another, without taking into consideration the makeup of the countries.  Sweden is a very homogeneous society with similar social habits, income, education, etc.  The US is a conglomeration of people from different parts of the world, different social habits, income, education, etc.  In your graphs compare New York State with Idaho.....that’s like comparing Sweden with USA.  Social distancing, closing stores, etc. will have an effect on transmitting disease much more in New York than in Idaho......different world, different people.

Good example:  Compare Republican with Dimokraps....for social distancing, and all the other areas.  That will be a lot like Sweden (Rep) vs USA (dimokraps).
