It looks like Sweden has a population of 10%+ that’s essentially constituently immune or very lightly symptomatic.
The death rate/infection rate there can’t readily be applied to any other country that doesn’t have that particular immune mutation.
It’s one reason none of the models accurately predicted infections/deaths for European countries in general, Scandanavian/Eastern European countries in particular.
Was the SARS-CoV-2 "strain" the same in Seattle, Washington that was in NYC and that area? LA? Do all of those areas have that particular immune mutation?
If not, that your logic would seem to hold for regions in a country - that you can't apple death/infection rates to other regions in a country.
