I have been following Sweden vs my country (Portugal) for a while. Population number is about the same.
According to official data, Sweden has double the deaths of COVID per capita than Portugal (192 v 72 or something like that last time I checked). But latest data from my country has been suspicious since there has been a LOT of deaths above the average for March/April that aren't counted as COVID. I think at the time Portugal had 400 deaths of COVID, it had around 700 extra deaths about the average that weren't counted as anything.
NY times[1] and other studies have shown a big difference between average deaths in various countries and covid ones. Interestingly enough, Sweden is the one where the average extra deaths are all covid related, while most other countries have a big difference.
(sorry for bad english, just woke up)
*edit: Just re-read the article and they added Belgium to the list. Belgium has the more deaths per capita in europe (world?), and they are also along with Sweden the only ones that don't have 'missing' deaths.
