Dunno, had a look and this is what I found:
To assess the injury-epidemiological consequences of the Swedish
strategy is also difficult due to unreliable statistics. On the one
hand, the reported “infected cases” is solely based on tested cases,
chiefly done only at hospitals; the real number of Swedish cases
remains unknown. On the other hand, the death toll reported on a daily
basis does not represent the real number of fatalities of that day, as
the Public Health Agency claims they receive scores of death reports
days after deaths occurred.In addition, according to a Swedish associate professor in
anaesthesiology and intensive care, Dr Mats Eriksson, “Numerous
patients released from hospitals then die at home, untested, and get
the diagnosis of unspecified pneumonia.” He also noted,There is an instruction in Stockholm that suspicious deaths caused by
Covid-19 shall not be further tested and therefore not included in the
statistics. Yet, they should be put in a death-bag marked ‘Infected.’

Interesting.
Think it’ll take a while before get some statistics we can trust and compare between countries.
Also, reading news articles is always a bit hit and miss. I think it’s quite obvious that most of them has an agenda or angle to push. Ie “Sweden’s elderly now pays for the strategy” and then the article backs that statement up, often without shedding light on different views. Haven’t read the article you linked but it kinda sums up my news consumption recently.

Is it confirmed that they’re using the same definitions and ways to count? Heard on the radio that Sweden counts anyone who dies WITH c19 while some countries only counts people who say FROM c19
