In the End, Sweden Did It Right
Sweden's COVID-19 death rate is 1,614 per million people — much lower than Britain
(2,335) or the U.S. (2,836), which both had much more stringent lockdowns. Sweden appears to have achieved herd immunity much more swiftly and thoroughly than other nations. Deaths were higher at the start of the pandemic but fell much lower than other lockdown nations in succeeding months. What is clear today is that the Swedes saved their economy.
