Here are the deaths per 1M for few countries around Sweden's death number. Even ignoring Italy which was affected first, all other countries deaths per million are within 2% of each other. What is alarming about Sweden's numbers?

* UK 585

* Spain 580

* Italy 556

* Sweden 450

* France 445

* Netherlands 350

* USA 330

Why that restriction? Let's expand your list a bit more, shall we:

* Portugal 142

* Germany 103

* Denmark 100

* Austria 75

* Finland 58

* Norway 44

* Czechia 30

* Poland 29

* Greece 17

The contrast between Sweden and its nearest neighbors Denmark, Finland, Norway is kind of glaring...
