What is it with Sweden? The country as a whole did no better than fair with 542 deaths per million, making them 5th WORST in the world as of 7/15/20.

They fare much better in general than US citizens in categories including heart disease, diabetes, HBP & stroke - all supposed contributing factors to COVID deaths. They are also 'happier' than the US, ranking #7 in the world to our #19. With these factors taken into consideration, the Swedes didn't do all that well, it would seem.
Comparing Sweden to NY is also specious, at best. NY population is over 19 million, Sweden (with 5593 COVID deaths) is closer to Michigan (6355 deaths) or North Carolina (1606 deaths) in population at a bit over 10 million.
