   Coronavirus: Sweden's Tegnell admits too

   Coronavirus: Sweden's Tegnell admits too many died   
      
   Sweden's controversial decision not to impose a strict lockdown in   
   response to the Covid-19 pandemic led to too many deaths, the man   
   behind the policy, Anders Tegnell, has acknowledged.   
      
   Sweden has seen a far higher mortality rate than its nearest   
   neighbours and its nationals are being barred from crossing their   
   borders.   
      
   Dr Tegnell told Swedish radio more should have been done early on.   
      
   "There is quite obviously a potential for improvement in what we have   
   done."   
      
   Sweden has counted 4,542 deaths and 40,803 infections in a population   
   of 10 million, while Denmark, Norway and Finland have imposed   
   lockdowns and seen far lower rates.   
      
   Denmark has seen 580 deaths, Norway has had 237 deaths and Finland   
   321. Sweden reported a further 74 deaths on Wednesday.

   Some 11%....but I doubt if asymptomic cases were counted.
