You're comparing a country with a population of 10 mil vs one with 330 mil. 20k deaths for them is still .2% of their population. .2% of the US population is 660k. I'm glad they managed to limit their deaths, but .2% is still .2%.

Also only 18.3% of Swedes are considered obese, vs the 36% here in the US.

So, does the point make a whooshing sound as it flies over your head?

Yea...and when compared to their Nordic neighbors (Denmark, Finland, and Norway), it experienced a significantly higher death rate. Bad example.

Nothing anyone did changed anything. The US death toll is less than half the reported number. The best number to check is excess deaths and even that need to offset by overdoses, suicides, and an increase in homicides.
