Tegnell predicted that though, actually he thought it would be much higher, between 8k and 20k. The numbers we are seeing now are much better than he initially thought.

> Uppskattningen att mellan 8 000 och 20 000 svenskar kan komma att dö av coronaviruset är inte helt orimlig.

No, that said someone else, he just commented on it and basically said it could become true. It wasn't his own prediction.

A few days later, in an interview he said that the country's elevated death toll "really came as a surprise to us." https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-sweden-lockdown-...
