A little math error. 10K cases in Sweden is actually 0.1% and 585K cases in the U.S. is actually 0.18%. And 900 deaths in Sweden is 9% and 23,500 deaths in the U.S. is 4%. So Sweden has fewer confirmed cases per their population than the U.S. but more deaths. Having said that last part, those are not the important numbers. I have no idea how many tests Sweden has done per million of population compared to the U.S. Fewer tests will inflate the mortality number which is why health orgs like CDC use an estimate of the total cases. Sweden has 0.01% cases per million in population and the U.S. has the exact same number of cases per million. One would expect Sweden to have far more cases per million population than the U.S. given they have taken no measures like social distancing or closing down their economy. They certainly have more deaths per million in population which is interesting. May be due to an older population, more pre-existing conditions, etc.
