Okay, people like to say that Sweden is doing worse than the other Nordic countries and here is a chart of total deaths per population unit. One thing to notice is that Sweden had a very mild flu season and low deaths in 2019, which left more vulnerable elderly people for the CV-19 epidemic. And you will notice that 2020 deaths in Sweden are back at the level of 2018, not some huge increase.

No fair using facts and data…
On a positive note I’ve played three rounds of December golf… in New England. Planning on playing on Thursday!
I REALLY like that chart. Even I can see what great news and evidence it is! Thank you, helthyskeptic!
Charlie Baker has just announced increased restrictions up the wazoo. Dick.
We need to see a similar figure for the US, and MN. Anyone able to do the math using the example from the citation? https://www.statcan.gc.ca/eng/dai/btd/asr
Would be so interesting to also compare to the H1N1 and other recent serious flu seasons…
