It's also worth noting that sources such as this article from The Economist[1] show that Sweden endured waves of excess deaths of up to 6% that neither Norway nor Finland reported, and instead show only residual variations.
From the article:
> Countries in northern Europe have generally experienced much lower mortality rates throughout the pandemic. Some Nordic nations have experienced almost no excess deaths at all. The exception is Sweden, which imposed some of the continent’s least restrictive social-distancing measures during the first wave.
