Think about what you are saying. The 2020 deaths are only through November 6. I.e., there are two more months to go. Sweden's experiment with herd immunity has been a failure. By the end of 2020, Sweden's deaths will far exceed their 2019 number. As the site you link to states: "Sweden was the Nordic country that reported the highest number of COVID-19 deaths in 2020."

That's simply a ridiculous statement.
Look at the numbers. With 77K deaths in 10 months of 2020 that's an average of 7.7K/month. Two months to go would be 15K more deaths for a total of 92K for all of 2020. Slightly (4K) more than 2019. And all that *IF* they meet the 7.7K average for the next two months. Their Covid deaths just hit 40/day the other day which would be 1.2K if that holds.
Yes, Sweden's deaths might slightly exceed 2019 but probably not 2018. To say their 2020 deaths will far exceed 2019, based on these numbers, is just ridiculous.
Sweden does lead the Nordic countries in deaths. If this was planned, Sweden did this in order to keep their economy open and their people free. I wonder how the other Nordic countries are faring in that regard.
