Worldometers shows Sweden with a 9% case fatality rate.

Wonder if that means they aren’t testing much, aren’t treating patients very well, getting large initial exposures resulting in severe cases, some genetic component, something else?

9% CFR is insignificant(statistical term) stat in Sweden’s case because they have only tested @ most 10K a week.

8.9 per 100,000 is their deaths per population which is the significant stat sans much testing.

7.1 per 100,000 is USA

38.6 per 100,000 is Spain

what matters is deaths per 100,000 or 1 million.

Then you still have the issue of how they determine cause of death.

But you can see if the death rate has increased/decreased over previous years, months, seasons.

Are you crazy? They have free health care there. 😀
