They had a few days of 0 deaths in there - everyone keeps referring to the first few months in Europe - look at their COVID-19 deaths from middle of June to current day.
Also they didn't have the luxury of being an island in the middle of the *** end of the planet.

Does that matter? You could say the same for Australia prior to this 2nd wave in Victoria as we had single digit deaths from March through to August, including several weeks of zero deaths but the overall numbers are what we are counting to gauge whether the strategies are right.

Look at that - the last day recorded on these stats has a big fat 0 for deaths and a graph which has only been heading in one direction.

They're also tracking better than Victoria on daily deaths recently.
It has one of the lowest rates of death in Europe..

You clearly have missed the difference between raw numbers and rate. The 'rate' is the number of deaths (or cases) per 100k of population as it is the only measure that balances out different population sizes.
Sweden has had 84,985 cases and 5,835 deaths for a CMR of 6.86% which is more than twice the case mortality rate of Australia but they have also had 1,035 cases per 100k adults (Australia is 145.6) so that's 7x higher and they have had 71.1 deaths per 100k of population compared to Australia with 4.51 (so 15x greater).
Capiche?
