In Sweden it hasn't been reduced to near zero and the trend has it rising to 100+ a day.

People love to bring up Sweden but they have never experienced dealing with COVID-19 in winter where it is up to 20x more contagious as everyone moves indoors.

That is incorrect. Sweden is currently seeing about 2,000 cases a day, and 5 deaths a day (7-day moving averages):

Today, they had thirteen deaths, nationwide, which was a statistically abnormal spike. The previous day was 1.

The IHME site you are linking is reporting the output of a model, not actual data on deaths.

Right now the average high in large parts of Sweden is below 0°C. And your link leads to data from the output of a model, not actual recorded deaths.
It is showing actual historical recorded deaths and predicted future ones.
