Oh, he might be screwing up - I'm not denying that. But do you have any specifics?
Not even going to try arguing one way or the other, but you asked for specifics. www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries as of April 2 2020 23:04 GMT lists Sweden with 5,568 total cases and 308 total deaths. This equates to a death rate of 5.532% of persons infected. The same time frame for the US lists cases/deaths as 243,298/5,883 or 2.418%.
Just for fits and shiggles to name a few, Italy is 115,242/13,915 or 12.075%; Spain with 112,065/10,348 or 9.234%; Germany with 84,794/1,107 or 1.306%; France with 59,105/5,387 or 9.115%; Iran with 50,468/3,160 or 6.261%; The UK with 33,718/2,921 or 8.662%.
Of European NON-microstates, Montenegro comes out near the top with 144/2 or 1.389%.
