Sweden is probably manipulating its own numbers.
Governments do that to support their own narratives.
All of them.
What is likely also happening in sweden is a deliberate speed up of the ‘desired demogrpahic transition’. As the old Swedes die off they are replaced with a more desirable ethnic group.
I think that is probably part of it.
We're not? Anyone with the virus is listed as a victim of it. Hospitals are getting reimbursed more for deaths due to the virus.

Sweden has kept all its primary schools open. I haven’t heard of a massive die-off of Swedish elementary school children. As a matter of fact I haven’t heard of a single Swedish kid that age dying. But I bet that when the time (test availability) comes, many of the kids will have been found to have had Covid-19 and thus are now contributing to that nation’s developing herd immunity.
Meanwhile, Swedish citizens over 70 and other vulnerable groups are isolating themselves for the time being.
Only time will tell whether the Swedish approach has been wise. My suspicion is that time will validate its wisdom.
