20. Swedish deaths not increasing as fast as UK ones, though

Yesterday, UK deaths stood at 1789; 5 days before that, at 578. So Swedish deaths multiplied by 2.6, British by 3.1. UK figures, in 'US equivalent' terms, went from about 2830 to 8760.

Today, British deaths increased to 2,352, Swedish to 257 from your source (though I don't know if that's a final figure for the day); 60 for Sweden in about 24 hours since this thread was started, 563 for the UK. Scaled up to the UK level, Sweden increased by 390. So there still isn't obvious "Sweden's acts have been awful" data.
