Sweden had a higher death rate than its neighbours combined. Also just like Denmark no very large, densely populated cities. Paris proper is 2mln people squeezed into a 100km^2 city. Greater Paris is 10mln at a definitely urban density. It's no wonder they had larger death rates and this is a apples to oranges comparison.
