Of course you're looking at a country with a population density of 63 persons per square mile and comparing it to a city with 26,403 persons per square mile. But go on and trust that. You have every right to.
That graph compares Sweden to NEW YORK STATE. (not NYC) So lets compare apples to apples. The urban density (number of citizens who live in or near cities) is 85% in Sweden and 87% in New York State. Nobody lives in vast swaths of Sweden, it is 3 times the size of New York State with 50% of the population. Viral epidemiology looks at urban density, not people per square mile.

PS Its not anecdotal evidence, it is actual deaths per million.
