You absolutely cherry picked the countries in that list. If Estonia is there so should be Lithuania and Latvia (to which Estonia is much more comparable economically and to a large degree socially than to the Nordic countries). And if Germany is there so should be Austria and Switzerland (small, highly developed and not that much less densely populated than Sweden if you only look at the areas where most people live) and so should France & UK (smaller populations than Germany, similar level of economic development).

and in this list Sweden while very badly hit is no away an outlier amongst the most affected countries.
