1/5 NORDIC follow up. Mortality per 100 000 stratified into three age groups:
0-19
20-64
65+
First age group 0-19, fluctuates around similar mortality year to year >>
2/5 Age group 20-64👇🏽
It now seems apparent that in the younger age groups Denmark has higher mortality rates than its Nordic neighbours in age group 0-64 and Finland higher at least in 20-64 >>
3/5 Lastly, age group 65+ is more “similar” between the countries but as can be seen Sweden increased mortality in the older age group y2020 which is related to the higher mortality in older age groups due to covid, especially related to elderly care, see next tweet 👇🏽 >>
4/5 re age group 70+
And yesterday’s tweet that prompted this thread 👇🏽>>

1/6 🇸🇪 patients to emergency rooms (somatiska akutmottagningar) declined during 2020. Ca 159k fewer patients (emergency room) during 2020 compared with 2019 (period March-September). Partly as a result of people being afraid but also due to other causes. Blue line is... +
2/6 total patients to emergency room during 2020 and it’s per 100k.
This chart👇🏽 presents data per region as deviation from average of 2017-2019. We see sharp declines most notably i Gothenburg region (Västra Götaland). +
3/6 largest %decreases we have seen in upper respiratory infections and it seems largest absolute decrease would be injuries, abdominal pain.

1/6 🇸🇪 pre weekend update
-ICU admissions
-ICU total
-covid-19 deaths per day ma7
-regions (cases + ICU)
For the moment ICU admissions have reached a plateau with peak lower than during spring +
2/6 also we can see that total ICU beds occupied by covid patients in Sweden have reached a - so far - lower peak/plateau than during spring. As is known, Sweden have a low ICU beds per capita capacity which however can be increased, as was did during spring. +
3/6 what is a however more pressning is personnel where fatigue is increasing as in Stockholm where spring was difficult. Even here however we see that covid - as of now - is less than during spring. +
1/5 🇸🇪 A regional dive into ICU Admissions & cases for
Stockholm, Västra Götaland, Skåne and Uppsala + weekly admissions
Stockholm👇🏽 adding red-line in all graphs which indicate 2 weeks +/-3 days from local advice. You can determine for yourself the possible effect on ICU. +
2/5 Västra Götaland (Gothenburg) seems to have been on a plateau in terms of admissions since around 10 November. +
3/5 Uppsala - positive trend in terms of not higher admission rates. To early to say anything. But whereas spring was typically sharp rise with slow decline we now seems to see a gentler increase and decrease all together but more extended? +
