Worldometer goes by date of announcement of the number. With the Swedish reporting system, where weekend fatalities tend to get delayed in the reporting, it gives some troughs and peaks that does make Mondays and Tuesdays look more dramatic, but in the end the numbers are the same.
The worldometer figures are coming from FHM - so I checked the graph and it reported 135 death on May 8 which is the same as the number FHM reported.
