At 90 days some their first 100 cases, Sweden has half the cases of China. Does that mean they have been twice as effective at fighting the disease? Half as impacted?

Chinese statistics is unreliable. It makes sense to compare Western countries, but not Western countries to China.

OK Sweden has fewer confirmed cases (40k) than most if not all of Western Europe.

Sweden doesn't test nearly as much as other countries in Western Europes. Comparing deaths is already complicated, comparing "confirmed cases" is completely useless.
