They seem to me to have deaths still accelerating and I believe they have more severe "stay-at-home" rules in place.



Correct. Sweden should be compared to its immediate neighbors, Norway and Finland. Sweden has 10x more deaths than either.

Sweden: 29,302 infected, 2462 total deaths
per capita 2,010 infections/million, 244 deaths/million

Norway: 7,680 infected, 207 total deaths, per capita deaths, 244/million
per capita 1417 infections/million, 40 deaths/million

Finland: 4,906 infected, 206 total deaths
per capita 885 infections/million, 37 deaths/million deaths

Besides Sweden, why Britain and Belgium in particular?



So far the highest death rates per population seem to be Belgium, Sweden, UK, and US.

Not true. Deaths weren't accelerating at that date.The highest number of COVID19-related deaths in Belgium was April 12th...
