March 2020 is higher than 2019 but lower than 2015 and 2018.
2015 there were 8339 dead 1-30 March
2016 there were 7755 dead 1-30 March
2017 there were 7843 dead 1-30 March
2018 there were 8918 dead 1-30 March
2019 there were 7334 dead 1-30 March
2020 there were 7704 dead 1-30 March
On average there were 8038 dead 1-30 March
I excluded 31st since it's probably work in progress. It could be final but in that case it's low...

March had very few deaths in Sweden from this coronavirus. It wasn’t until after March 30th that the numbers started jumping up big time.

The deaths from this virus in Sweden in April is going to be more than 5x the deaths from this virus in Sweden in March. We aren’t even half way into April and Sweden is already around 4x March deaths from this virus in Sweden.
It was foreseeable that March would be a walk in a Swedish park and April being more akin to a walk in the cemetery (or around a crematorium), when it comes to deaths from this virus.

At Kastrup they are sitting in booths behind glass windows. They do handle passports, but I trust they are smart enough to wash their hands and use sanitizer. In Hyllie they are supposed to walk through the train, but in my experience they are conspicuous by their absence.
Immigrations at Kastrup is really easygoing, by the way. All I have to say is "I'm on my way to Sweden" to get waved through. And no, I do not have a Danish or Swedish passport.

And all of this is with the benefit of many people distancing themselves from others even before and when the government restrictions were borderline non-existent in Sweden.

My neighbor, a university hospital ER traumatologist, confirmed the obvious, to whit that the vast majority of those who die of covid-19 are elderly, frail and suffer from a host of other illnesses. He also bluntly added that almost all of them would have died in the next six to 12 months from one cause or another anyway. If he is right (he treats these patients, so I figure he knows more about all this than I do), a peak in mortality caused by covid-19 should be followed by below average numbers in the next couple of years.

Belgium, population 11m, 4,000 deaths
Greece, population 10m, 100 deaths
Any thoughts?

Why on earth would they be?

Some immigrants (I don't think it's right to call them expats) living in Sweden reported that they were allowed to drive through Denmark to Germany.

Outcomes vary substantially and it's almost like you can judge how effective their efforts have been. Especially the not Italian countries since all others could see what happened there. Since Sweden looks to somewhat later on the curve I reserve judgement there but so far I'm not sure either way.

Density, demographics, lifestyle habits, testing (of even the hospitalized & dead), mitigation efforts, timing and exposure to virus and viral load are not uniform.

Will be really interesting to see the figures in the medium term, i.e. this year and next.

He also bluntly added that almost all of them would have died in the next six to 12 months from one cause or another anyway.
