> The Swedes are actually poor at counting deaths, as they lag in their reporting, and often report 0 deaths in the weekend and hollidays.

That doesn't make them poor at counting death, so long as those deaths do eventually get counted. Everyone knows there are lags in reporting and counting, and everyone should take those lags into account when using the data.

Compare that to Spain, which has recently changed their count method and ended up with a confusing and misleading set of data. https://twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1268450736398098433?...
