Sweden goes into a month-long vacation every July, most business will have 15% or less personnel, people are outside a lot more (and probably out of the cities) if they are in the country.
All of these also helped last year's summer, just look at the graphs, we had a very very normal summertime here, people were going to bars, some clubs, all the parks were crowded and we still got relatively very few infections. Now look at the fall-winter of 2020/2021, massive increase of infections when we aren't on vacations mode anymore and have to stay inside.
Sweden is starting to see an increase of delta-variant cases and by living here and seeing how much people just stopped caring we will definitely see a new wave of infections if delta and/or lambda spread and are really capable of evading the current vaccines.
Please, don't use us as an example if you don't have tacit knowledge of how this society and country works, there are seasonal effects in play that, it seems, you are completely unaware of...
I thought Swedish society was rather similar to that of Finland, Norway and Denmark. Yet they each show rather significant delta-bumps whereas Sweden does not. Good science would ask what distinguished Sweden's COVID response from that of the others and did that have any effect on the difference we're now seeing.
