Relative to total population the infection rate in Sweden (0.3%) was lower than in the US (0.5%). Also, relative to total population the death rate in Sweden (0.04%) was 33% higher than the US (0.03%). Interestingly, the death rate relative to those infected in Sweden (12.1%) was twice as high as in the US (5.9%).
