Covid deaths are up, but Sweden is doing well

I posted before that CDC were not showing many excess deaths since May. That was correct, but the updated CDC data now an extra 5000 or so deaths per week. This is attributable to the surge in COVID-19 cases.

On the other hand, Sweden refused to do the lockdowns that USA and most European countries did, and all the experts predicted devastating deaths from the disease. But Sweden will have a lower death rate in 2020 than it had in 2010.
