In reality, however, Israel continues to train Palestinian doctors and supply medical assistance to the West Bank to mitigate against a COVID-19 outbreak in areas controlled by the PA. Instead of encouraging Israeli-Palestinian cooperation, the PA would rather incite against the Jewish state amid a pandemic that does not discriminate against its victims.
“Russian leadership does not believe that the Kremlin’s messages to Brussels [should] go through Helsinki or that Finns would provide significant additional value in rationalising Russia’s views or interests,” the report stated.
The report implies that Moscow considers Finland joining NATO and allowing the military alliance a continued presence on Finnish soil to be a concrete threat.
In the region, the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are NATO members, but Sweden and Finland only have a strategic partnership.

I do not think your growth factor is useful. One of the main problems of growth factor is still the Sunday/Monday effect.
The simplest method to eliminate the Sunday/Monday effect is the 7-day moving average I suggested. If we really spend time to think about this mathematical problem, then we might have some even better method. However, I do not want to spend time on this mathematical problem.
The temperature can have a strong effect both in increasing and decreasing the new cases. Here, we need to make clear what we are talking here. In April, Sweden did not have any improvement. Only in the first few days in May, we begin to see an improvement. In April, they still turned on the heaters. If the temperature went up, they were likely to go out more often and hence, the chance of get infected would be increased.
So, let's concentrate on what happen in May. In May, I believe that they still turn on the heaters and close the windows. Hence, the improvement due to higher temperature is not large. However, the higher temperature in May may just overcome the problem of going out more often. So, the situation seems to have some improvement.
Anyway, it is better to watch a few more days to see what actually happen because we have only five days data.
Got to go! No time to check what I have typed.

Just want to clarify that the growth factor in the graph is already 7_day_moving_average[n]/7_day_moving_average[n-1]. So, Sunday/Monday effect is probably eliminated.
Let's forget about the temperature. If it is too cold, everyone is turning on heater. If it is too hot, everyone is turning on the air-conditioner. After all, if the environment is favorable to human, it is also favorable to virus, too.

連極右既瑞典人(已經唔係瑞典左膠)都話唔想捲入東歐國家同俄羅斯之間既政經同歷史爭議,仲串波羅的海三國同波蘭一樣做左美國主義打手+串"Eesti cannot into Nordic, Eesti is NATO puppet!!!"(波羅的海三國、波蘭明明同美國關係只係「盟友」而非「朋友」 - 各有所需)
:^(
極右瑞典人同極左瑞典人一齊屌埋瑞典政府同北約玩得太埋

I don't think the households in Sweden have air-conditioners.
