Current daily deaths in Sweden are averaging about 4 per day continuing to trend towards 0, vs the 0 or 1 per day in Denmark or Norway. If you're trying to argue that 0.38 per capita vs 0.05 per capita is relevant when the gross numbers are so low I'm not sure what to tell you to convince you otherwise.

Reference: https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToS... (graph basically looks identical between per capita or raw, pick your poison).

I'm not sure how you make a meaningful statistical difference between them at this point when the numbers are approaching rounding errors.

You look over a longer period of time. Like 25x Denmark for the past month, where that includes a delay of up to 28 days for a death to be reported, and only a few days delay in Denmark.
