Is this guy an undertaker or a urologist? His tag seems to have both words but I do not speak Swedish. Anyway it may not be a perfect extrapolation or comparison but if you take his numbers, 6000 dead in a country of 100 million people and you adjust that to the US population don't you come out with 330 million people and 198000 dead? We are not far from that now and if the trend continues we will blow past that in a month or so. That's one race I didn't want to be winning.

> Is this guy an undertaker or a urologist? His tag seems to have both words but I do not speak Swedish. His name tag says "Underläkare", which is a title meaning "assistant physician". The term is defined in this Swedish Wikipedia article: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underl%C3%A4kare https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underl%C3%A4kare Google translates it as follows: "Assistant physician in Sweden is a title for all the doctors on duty who do not have specialist competence..." Underneath that it says "VO kirurgi och urologi" which translates as "Acting supervisor[1] - surgery and urology". The red tag says "Läkare", which is just "Doctor".

  Thank you for the interpretation of the name tag. I appreciate the effort. I should've made the same effort myself. In fact, in rereading my own comment I notice that I fat-fingered a number in the comparison I was trying to make. Where I show their Dead vs Population size as 6000 / 100 million that should've been 6000 / 10 million. I had one too many zeroes on their population figure. Not my finest hour and a real drag for me personally since I have spent so much of my career QC'ing other people's work and pointing out their defects. I need to pay closer attention to my own output since I obviously am not perfect either.
