I'm not going to even check your numbers because I doubt you figured asymptomatic cases into the equation. Sweden's chief epidemiologist said they were getting close to herd immunity last month, So their death rate is much lower, infection rate higher, and their daily death rate is going down. Without complete lockdown and wrecking their economy.
