I hope you're not looking at case numbers, because Sweden is so far behind on testing compared to most of europe.

Look at the rate of growth for deaths per day (filtering out weekends because obviously swedes refuse to die on weekends)

Most places are seeing a plateau in number of daily deaths while Sweden is still growing exponentially

I'm looking at deaths per capita. It can still be manipulated but it's the hardest to manipulate.

Look at the trend... 15% of their deaths happened in the past 24 hours
