SvD writes that excess mortality - i.e. how many more people die in a
given period compared to another - is "a relatively blunt measure".
This is because it does not take into account how the age distribution
in different countries looks or whether the population increases or
decreases over time.

Haha "blunt measure". Excess mortality was _the goldstandard_ during all of corona and only when sweden turned out to be the best at handling it by not doing anything at all, started people critiziing it. I cannot imagine a better admission that sweden was right than that. :D
