But while Sweden has avoided the devastating tolls of outbreaks in Italy, Spain and Britain, it also has seen an extraordinary increase in deaths, mortality data show.

Wait, what? So the deaths are *lower* in Sweden than other Euro countries.
Right. I think they’re trying to explain away the Swedish example.
Right now Sweden is running 100 more deaths per million than we are.
Do the Swedish stats include the rape & murder rate by Muslim invaders?
Northern Italy, northern Spain and all of the UK are densely populated and those areas were hit by COVID-19. Sweden has a population density lower than the USA
Don’t forget France. They lower than France too. Sounds like these guys sifted the stats to find something, anything! where Sweden was worse, then wrote the article on that.
Sweden's death rate per 100,000 is slightly higher than nearby Finland and Norway, both of which did have a full shutdown.
Slightly higher.
I think the evidence is pointing to the fact that social distancing, forcing everyone to either work from home or be laid off, and wearing masks for the few times you are permitted to leave your home is no more effective than common sense behaviors like staying home if you are ill, and staying away from the elderly and other vulnerable segments of the population.
