    Sweden already has a higher death rate than all of its neighbors. The death rate per day per million people in Sweden is the highest in the world.... and the rate is climbing at an alarming pace.

    Denmark and Norway strike tourist border deal...without Sweden
    https://www.thelocal.dk/20200529/denmark-and-norway-open-borders-for-eachothers-tourists

    While Denmark has also opened its border to tourists from Germany and Iceland, Norway is for now only opening its borders to tourists from Denmark.

    The decision to push ahead without Sweden will come as a blow to Sweden's government which has in recent weeks put diplomatic pressure on its neighbours not to exclude it from a Nordic border deal, despite its higher rate of coronavirus infection.

    "Danes and Swedes have family, lovers, and holiday homes across the borders," Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said at a press conference announcing the deal at 2pm on Friday. "Denmark and Sweden are at different places in relation to the coronavirus [epidemic], and this has a bearing on what we can decide in relation to the border."

    With 430 deaths per million people, Sweden has a much higher death rate linked to the new coronavirus than that of neighbouring Nordic countries Norway (43 death per million), Denmark (98), Finland (56) and Iceland (29), which have all imposed much stricter measures aimed at curbing the spread of the disease.

    Sweden cuts its death rate by 50 percent from Thursday this morning.
    One of the fastest recoveries from Covid in the world.
    Validating Sweden's no lockdown models for the world's experts.

    See Sweden's deaths today vs thursday...

    Note... for those who have not been following...
    the above was a sarcastic response to illustrate how truly stupid
    GWB and the articles he posted about Sweden's death jumping were.

    Per... GWB's bullshit way of looking at data...we have new a headline -

    Sweden Tied for Lowest Corona Virus Death Rate in the World.

    https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/

    Note..

    I know this is bullshit and the deaths will probably increase during the week.
    I am pointing out how full of shit it was for the mass media to create those
    headlines last week with a very bullshit, very short term look back period.

    And that GWB was arguing for that bullshit... should not be forgotten.

    The trend and curves on these charts is down and it seems
    many people outside of Sweden don't want that to be understood.

    You are certainly living in a fantasy world. Hope you are enjoying your alternate reality.

    Even the latest news in your source is showing:
    June 2nd - 775 new cases and 65 new deaths

    So much for your claims that the trend is down.

    I am using the site... you insisted was the right data...
    and linking to it.

    It shows that on Jun 1 there were 8 deaths. That is the last day on the chart.
    They have 10.3 million people.
    That means less than 1 death per million on Jun 1.

    This is the site you were using.

    Now if later today it posts 65 more deaths for June 2nd...
    that would be expected. but it is irrelevant.


    The point is that short look back periods are garbage...
    and that is what you were supporting last week.

    So is 65 more than 8?

    The 3 day and 7 day average trend of deaths per capita has been maintained for over 2 weeks now. Sweden is the leader. No other country even comes close.
