The US has a population 328 million, or roughly 33 times higher. On the face of it with rough calculations their per capita death rate if it was the Us would be around 70k deaths vs the 40k deaths we have so far.
So I think it’s a good point you bring up.
- davidw 6y ago> 40k deaths we have so far. You're off by at least 10,000.
- Herodotus38 6y agoOk so 50,000, maybe 60,000 but I think the point about Sweden having a higher per capita death rate stands at this point. Sure, in a week these numbers may change but based on the current numbers I think it is not controversial.
