This is not to say that only 15-20% were exposed to covid. It says only 15-20% express antibodies, because many are able to kill coronaivrus before their body even needs antibodies. See study here from Science: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/08/04/science.abd3871
And remember that Diamond Princess Cruise Ship that was so heavily studied? They also reached 20% antibody levels. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00885-w
So let's review:
* No matter the intervention policy, hot spots decline when reaching ~15% antibody expression
* Given a sufficiently large sample size, all hot spots stopped at 20-25%
* Masks, businesses, schools, etc. all fail to explain it

If it wasn't for Sweden, people could say the 15-20% is just a universal coincidence, and that it's the government's intervention which saved the day.
The problem though is that Sweden does exist. And it blows that theory out of the water.

This doesn't mean some interventions can't help. But we simply cannot ignore the fact that Sweden never shut down, never closed schools, never wore masks, and reach the same results as those who did.
