Right, and it’s really not the deaths per million at a given time that matters anyway. What matters is the total deaths over the span of the epidemic, which depends mainly on whether the healthcare system gets overwhelmed. So far the Swedish healthcare system hasn’t been overwhelmed and it looks increasingly likely that it won’t be. If this holds, then Sweden chose the right strategy.

This is dead on (pardon the pun). Because Sweden chose to rip the bandaid off fast instead of prolonging the pain; it won't be proven right or wrong for a couple of years from now. That's when the number of deaths per million attributed to the C-19 virus will mean something. One would expect their numbers to be significantly higher right now with a fast decline in the coming months if they chose the best strategy.

Either way their economy will be in far better shape at the time and well into the future.
