Sweden has always been near the top 10 (currently 13th; to give some context, Italy is 12th) and somehow the myth of "Sweden is magically successful at fighting COVID-19" refuses to die. If having 1 in 1730 people die is such a huge success, I suppose having 1 in 1690 die is okay, too. (To avoid misunderstanding, no, I don't think any of these numbers is okay. Many developed countries have an order of magnitude better results.)
