Overlooking the fact that with 200% more cases Massachusetts has only 35% more deaths:

Sweden population density: 64 people / square mile.

Massachusetts population density: 890 (14x) people / square mile.

---

Stockholm population density: 5,200 people / square mile.

Boston population density: 13,800 (2.5x) people / square mile.
