Though, as that article points out:

1) It's too early to say for sure if it even actually has worked

2) The Swedes are actually staying home and social distancing.

Even if it ultimately does work out for them, that doesn't mean they made the right decision with the data they had. Sometimes people gamble on a long shot and get lucky.

1) This is also true for some US states which are not yet reopening.

2) The Swedes avoided a complete shutdown of their economy. There is similarity between their approach and countries/states which are now reopening, i.e. social distancing and a subset of industry WFH.
