Swedens population is almost twice of Denmarks, so I am not sure saying 110 is signifcantly more than 72.

  Denmark is also about 5 times as dense, so one could easily attribute the death number to that.

    I think the numbers are within margin if you measure what actually matters; urbanization. The huge swaths of empty forests up north in Sweden makes the 5 times number look ridiculous but doesn't carry any meaning. Looking at urbanization: Denmark: 87.5% [0] Sweden: 87.4% [1] Another statistic is Copenhagen Metropolitan area compared to Stockholm, which both is about 2.5 million. Though Copenhagen jumps to 4 million if you go by the Öresund region including parts of Sweden.

Sweden is significantly behind Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Denmark at deaths per 1M: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries The epidemic is still growing fast though and since some countries are naturally lagging behind others, the effectiveness of measures will only be seen in the aftermath.

That's almost twice the amount of deaths in Canada, which has a population of over 30 million people and is on a relatively tight lockdown (not as intense as some European countries but still well followed). Different folks different strokes, but I wonder which approach is going to be the most reasonable in hindsight.
