First of all, Sweden is not done yet, at all. Secondly, every time I look at Sweden's deaths vs cases graph , I get this odd feeling, that it cannot be possible, that their peek deaths is before the peak of the cases. I do not know if I can trust their current stats.

Swedish skeptic of "the Tegnell/Swedish approach" here: I trust the numbers, but there's a delay in reporting the deaths - it takes at least 10 days to get ~95% of them. There are multiple checks/tests at various stages and it takes time. Takeaway: Don't trust the latest week's death numbers from Sweden, but trust the ones before that. The elder care homes etc have gotten a lot better at protecting the people living there. Having said that, I'm just waiting for things to explode again - and it just takes a few elder care homes to get infected for lots of people to die.

You really can't trust case numbers from almost any country due to widespread differences in testing. Most asymptomatic cases never get tested or counted. Only death statistics are somewhat reliable and comparable. https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/covid-19-william-farrs-way-out-of-the-pandemic/ https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/covid-19-william-farrs-way-out...
