Trump-led US regime. They will do anything and everything to twist and hide the numbers if the numbers make the Rump look bad, and pump up numbers if they are to the benefit of the Rump.

Sweden is a bit dodgy (for other reasons and certainly not to the level of the US and China), as we are barely testing here unless you are both symptomatic AND in a high risk group (and we are very narrow in defining high-risk), or go into an ICU. Post mortem testing is hit and miss here are well. THAT is going to be a HUGE issue in the US, as Rump will direct his legion of goons to try and stop as much post mortem testing as possible, and also to order that cause of death NOT to be listed as COVID-19 if the person had any other issues.
