So are you saying 3- 5.5 times as many people have died in Sweden than normal? Or are you saying that the deaths attributable to covid are 3-5.5times their neighbours? Look at my US analysis you will see that in the US the total number of covid deaths is well inside the venn diagram for deaths due to the prevailing co-morbities. Your assertion implies unique and additional deaths when in fact they could simply be displacement deaths. Time will tell. Yes Sweden apparently trades so because every other country has shut down, they have been affected economically.

According to what I've read, they're referring to 3 to 5.5 times as many cv19 deaths. Using a death rate Vs pop, Sweden is doing worse than the US.
Btw, your last sentence doesn't make sense. Sweden has had far higher cv19 deaths than the other Nordic countries, that face the SAME trade issues, so Sweden traded off a non existent economic return by "remaining open" for a REAL higher death rate. How do you explain that?
