More Swedes Died in One Month in 1993 and 2000 than in April 2020
- nick_kline 6y agoOne month is not enough statistics. How many died in the 3 or 4 months around that in 93 and 2000? It wouldn't be that surprising if there was a terrible flu in the past. But picking just one month at least makes the comparison incomplete unclear. I'd worry this is an attempt to minimize Sweden's terrible performance during the pandemic. See [1]. Sweden's deaths per million (538) is only lower than the horribly devastated countries. They are a bit worse than US, France, Netherlands (401, 458, 358), not quite as bad (but getting closer every day) to Italy, Spain, the UK (577, 607, 652). This is interesting and I'd like to see a larger comparison. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries
