That does not look good for Sweden. I was just thinking that it would be interesting to compare total deaths per year for 2020 at years end to eliminate differences in methodology. It's a crude measurement, but if the coronavirus death toll becomes large enough compared to total population then it should give us a general idea considering how slowly death rates change in general. That could at least point us to who did things right, and hopefully some guidance for future policy.
- epr 6y agoHold that thought. They probably have deaths by week already.

- llarsson 6y agoOnly if COVID-related deaths are counted the same way by each and every country, which is not the case now. Some only count if the person died in a hospital, for instance. Did not New York's rate take a major jump when they started to count also non-hospital deaths, e.g. ones at retirement homes?
