		raverbashing on Oct 24, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: September 2020 least deadly month ever in Sweden People are making all kinds of assumptions about the pandemic but the data point is only that, one month. And I think it is related to the pandemic but in 2 ways: - As people said, less activity in general and it was one of the better months in Europe in terms of deaths. - The mortality in the initial months has probably anticipated possible deaths that would occur later in the year

Really the stronger but not as striking data point, sadly not in the title is:

For the year 2020 so far, ie January - September, the number of deaths per capita is the third lowest ever.
