If you read the comment you replied to again, you'll note that they didn't claim there was no excess mortality in Sweden. I'll quote the relevant bit here for you:
> For Sweden the excess deaths almost exactly matches the number of Covid deaths, give or take 10%.
- jobigoud 6y agoAnd they are saying that a good match between excess mortality and reported Covid death is not, in itself, an argument to say that Sweden is doing a good job. It has more excess mortality than its neighbors even if these might be underreporting Covid death so this argument is not exactly relevant.
- close04 6y agoThe implication is that Sweden is doing a great job with the reporting. I think the whole point of OP's comment was that the statistics are meaningless because many countries skew the reporting, while Sweden does not. > The statistics are likely completely wrong because different countries use different definitions of "Covid deaths" and different reporting procedures.
