Can you post the link to the Swedish statistics? I think you're counting flu and covid death differently.
For flu I think you're using a mix of all cause mortality and statistical modelling. For covid I think you're using either "died after being tested positive for covid" or "covid was mentioned as a cause on the death certificate".

This also talks about May - https://emanuelkarlsten.se/swedens-two-corona-months-are-not-more-deadly-than-the-flu-of-the-90s-but-that-does-not-mean-that-everything-is-normal/ https://emanuelkarlsten.se/swedens-two-corona-months-are-not...
- panpanna 6y agoWhat people are trying hard to ignore is that we are seeing these numbers _despite_ shutting down the country and everyone using masks and washing hands and avoiding contact. With a business as usual attitude we would see death rates 100 times higher.
