Sweden has about 7000 Covid deaths in a population of 11 million. And 70pc have been in care homes where average life expectancy in Sweden is 1 year (they cater for end of life elderly as otherwise Swedes are looked after in their homes). The average age of a covid death in Sweden is 85, the highest in the entire world. So, it’s frankly hard to believe that such a relatively small number of deaths at such an advanced age on average will leave a significant dent on population life expectancy.
