For some reason more people died in Norway than in Sweden in the couple years before the pandemic, then Sweden caught up. They are tied over the last four years.
More people may have died of covid in Sweden because there were more old vulnerable people in Sweden.

- KingOfCoders 5y agoSo? Being vulnerable marks you as ok to die? The argument would only work if both countries had the same measures and there died more people in Sweden.
- mikem170 5y agoI didn't mean it as an argument. Just throwing an additional fact out there. It seems to be relevant, given the impact that covid has on people over 60/70/80/90 years old.
