I calculated excess deaths based on the data provided by their stat agency in an excel table, and I got roughly 5000. This is a lot for a 10 million country, and it could have been avoided. They should have negative excess death this year, following the trend of last several years.

From article: In total numbers this means around 3,000 more Swedes have died in 2020 than ‘normally’, which is less than half of the number of people who has officially died with/from Covid-19.

This to me is a strong indication that the Covid-19 pandemic more than anything has moved forward deaths by weeks or months rather than by years and it is an indication that Covid-19 to a considerable extent has ‘replaced’ other ‘normal’ causes of dead among the old such the flu or pneumonia.

Please, download the excel table yourself and calculate, it is very straightforward. Excess death for Nov 15 is ~5000 people. I do not partake in creative accounting, like that article is trying to do.
