And yet even with the botched response it is well behind small baltic country of Lithuania, current #1 in the world.


tl;dr: "He said, she said."

> While countries such as the United States, Brazil, and India have made headlines for recording the highest number of coronavirus-related fatalities, Sweden’s death rate of over 80 per 100,000 people is among Europe’s highest and is around 10 times as great as those of Norway and Finland, and over four times Denmark’s.

So less than 1/1,000. Without demographic data, no idea if those stats are good or bad, or mean anything at all.
