Have you been actually following how things have gone? Sweden has 1708% more deaths to covid vs Norway, but only 84% higher population. That doesn't sound that great to me.
This comparison between two datapoints is not too useful.
The graphs at https://euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/ provide a more nuanced picture, with the caveat that those are graphs of excess mortality and not necessarily covid-specific.
Useful or not, I think it's more representative within that region than you let on and matches basically the activity causing this moment in the timeline from your link: https://imgur.com/a/G3D7AZ2
