UK and Sweden 2020 Death Stats Anlysis

from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfjwISC8ri4

How fearful of this virus should we be and has the UK's response been appropriate and proportionate ? This is our analysis of the numbers at the end of the year 2020. Have a look at the numbers, see for yourself the differences between our response and Sweden's and then decide for yourself; but all comments gratefully accepted. If any errors are present anywhere in the presentation please let me know and I will correct them.

===========
For the UK I used the ONS death stats up to the end of week 51 I think it was. Here’s the link to the ONS download area :-

For the Sweden numbers I used www.statista.com. Eg https://www.statista.com/statistics/1115707/sweden-number-of-deaths-per-week/

For the population densities, I used google searches having discovered the four most populous cities in each country. Numbers varied a bit site to site and in some they show the numbers per sq km and the number per sq mile the wrong way round but the numbers from https://worldpopulationreview.com/world-cities/manchester-population were about in line with most of them. On this one they get the numbers the wrong way round quite a lot as well. Not sure why that is.

For the 2008 numbers I had to look further back into the ONS site and also to the Northern Ireland and Scottish stats sites. I also had to refer to the one called annual reference table

For Scotland to get the 2008 numbers I looked at https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/statistics-and-data

For N. Ireland 2008 I looked at https://www.nisra.gov.uk/statistics/births-deaths-and-marriages
