The group of countries with better response than Sweden (or the US) comprise the majority of the world, and also diverse in terms of regions, government systems, economic development, culture, population, and area. It's hard to argue that Sweden actually did well in any subgroup.

- smaryjerry 6y agoDeaths attributed to the disease. Every country counts them differently. In the us if you died while having the disease you counted as a COVID death. In some countries it’s only if the disease is what killed you that you get attributed, in some they haven’t had testing available to test deaths during their peaks, and some just want to keep their numbers low to avoid getting their exports and borders shut down.
