Although, objectively - it could be read that Sweden is following the model, and just hasn't yet entered the exponential growth stage indicated by the blue and yellow areas - which could be in the future on current practices?

Well I think testing is increasing so may be catching more people now but certainly when I had about 9 of the 12 or so symptoms a couple of weeks ago you couldn't get anywhere near a test without heading to a hospital needing additional treatment. Also Hospitalisation usually occurs about day 10 which means new cases may be much smaller now.

Died from or died with? How many had underlying health problems and were going to die anyway? Ah found this on worldometer. In New York 4.5% of all deaths 18-44 of which 244 of the 309 had underlying conditions so therefore may have been their time regardless.

Fingers crossed for you both/all.
It's possible that some of those with underlying health issues may have died anyway, but it's certain that not all would have. Many people with underlying health issues (like asthma) live well into old age.

I know people won’t like this, but I like Matt Hancock, you can see in his eyes he is under so much pressure and I’m sure mistakes have been made by many, but you can see he really cares he doesn’t come across as clinical and emotionless like some. As a human being I feel for him.
Much more positives coming out of the briefing today, hospital occupation down 10% on this time last week and ICU occupations mostly below 50% and decreasing

Evidence from the US is emerging that the virus was spreading unseen weeks earlier than previously thought. The first official death from coronavirus in the US was on February 29, but now it is known that there were deaths from the disease on February 6 and February 17. There are estimates that there could have been at least 10 infected people in New York as early as the last week of January.
Hidden Outbreaks Spread Through U.S. Cities Far Earlier Than Americans Knew, Estimates Say
A healthy woman suddenly died. She was the first known coronavirus fatality in US

The point is the daily death level is over 600 and decreasing, not over 1000 and increasing.
What’s the average going to be for people who have missed treatments/diagnoses for cancer etc

No age banding to that analysis so irrelevant.
