Not a Swede but an Aussie living in Sweden here
Sweden is at 118 deaths per million vs 53 per million in Denmark or 94.5 in the US
Australia is at 2.52 per million
Sweden has a population of something like 10 million while the greater Sydney area alone has a population of 5.98 million so population density isn't the reason why Sweden has so many more deaths.
Voluntary lockdown means that some people still stand too close at the supermarkets, still plenty of people socialising around my area as normal & different companies apparently have different ideas when it comes to work from home policies
To be fair many countries are locked down as much as Australia and are also doing worse so I'm not sure what it is that is working so well there.
