When I started recording the dates when Sweden’s death toll from COVID-19 exceeded round thousands, I did not foresee the project continuing into the next year. But here we are.
I used to set the dates when I noticed Swedish media report them, but I’ve now gone to FHM’s stats page and got them from there.
This has led to some reshuffling - especially on Jan 6 2021 which now has its own tally.
This table has also been updated.
Simple chart showing the number of days between every 1 000 deaths, and the average deaths per day.
Update Monday, 2021-03-01: revised dates based on official stats from FHM.

|---|---|---|---|
| 2020-03-11 | 1 | 0 | 0.0 |
| 2020-04-09 | 1 000 | 29 | 34.4 |
| 2020-04-19 | 2 000 | 10 | 100.0 |
| 2020-05-02 | 3 000 | 13 | 76.9 |
| 2020-05-18 | 4 000 | 16 | 62.5 |
