I suspect other countries in South America (besides Chile) and Africa will soon start appearing in the Top Ten, but a lot depends on how good their reporting is and how broad their definition of "Covid-related death" is.
No worries. Brazil and Mexico are also on their way up. A lot of people think Sweden was a total disaster because they only compare it to Norway and Finland. They are quite comparable to several US states in size and population and did a lot better than many of them as well as several European countries.

Sweden's deaths keep plumetting and they have no surge of new cases. They may have reached a herd immunity threshold and might have the last laugh. 75% of their death total is from nursing homes, everyone blew that one but without that total, their strategy seems to have worked.
