6,000 preventable deaths? So with measures similar or better than Finland and Norway and Denmark the deaths would have been 164? (Current Covid deaths Sweden 6164).

I think you misunderstood my comment. I already knew those 3 countries had a lower death rate.

You are correct, my apologies. A better estimate would be 5,000 preventable deaths.
