Well, first of all it's 10x compared to Norway and 3X compared to Denmark. There are huge differences in demographics between the Scandinavian countries. Over 20% of the Swedish population have been born outside of the country, mostly in the Middle East or Africa. This group has been hit disproportionately by Covid. The risk of needing intensive care for Middle Eastern immigrants in Sweden is 6 times higher than for people with Swedish ancestry, and the risk of dying is 2.8 higher [0]. There are also pretty big differences in how elderly care is organized and run. I'm not saying we did a good job in Sweden, but I definitely think that there are more factors than lockdown in play.
