First, sorry for my bad English.

Thank you for this very interesting post.

I can't trust the ocde dataset though. They fail to consider some deaths in Sweden. Didn't they fail to consider some in other countries ?

I think they did, because there is nonsense in the world deaths chart. What about Hungary ? Why this discrepancy between the official Covid deaths and the excess deaths ? Did they overestimate their Covid deaths numbers that much ? And Israel ? Did they really do worse than Hungary ? And did they underestimate their Covid deaths numbers that much ?

I compared the ocde and owid rankings. They're quite different. Some countries have a bad ranking in ocde et and a better one in owid : Israel, Canada. Others have a better ranking in oecd than in owid : Hungary, Lithuania. Not sure it is all because of baseline methods.

In conclusion, how to compare countries excess deaths with such different datasets ?
