Your "summary" article is a month old, and the author's claim that Sweden has had the
"highest number of deaths per-capita in the World" is disingenuous.
It was only true for
daily per-capita deaths (not
total per-capita deaths), and only during one specific week, and only when using a 7-day average.
Remove any of those "qualifiers" and that statement becomes a lie. All data can be manipulated, so you really need to broaden/deepen your understanding of the subject for a more accurate appraisal, IMO.
For instance, here is a real-time representation of per-capita C19 deaths showing how Belgium, Spain, Italy, and the UK "got it wrong" compared to Sweden:
