Confirmed case numbers is a pretty weak trend metric since it depends more on how many you test than how many are ill. Many countries have their outbreaks shrinking but their testing capacity growing, meaning they might find the same number of cases (or even more) every day, despite there actually being fewer and fewer suck people.
Hospitalizations and deaths are much better metrics.
Sweden probably finds about the same or more infected people every day now, than at their peak of deaths/hospitalizations (which lags the peak of infections!) in the last week of April, for example.
