Sweden employs a strategy without a lockdown (which doesn't mean that they have no containment measures), and they are doing okay, it's not the case that everyone got sick immediately, because people are still having less social activities and taking some precautions, even without a mandatory lockdown.

Please look at this chart, showing deaths on a per-capita basis of Sweden and her neighbors: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/daily-covid-deaths-per-mi...

I guess "doing fine" is in the eye of the beholder, but clearly more people are dying there than in neighboring Nordic countries.

Please look at this chars, showing mortality across all causes. "Doing fine" is in eye of the beholder, but clearly more people are dying across all causes of mortality for the country-levels for Scandinavian countries. https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/

Some countries have experienced higher than average mortality, but others experience lower than average.

You wouldn't get fined but I can't imagine Tinder dates being seen favorably during a pandemic, even in Sweden.

On another note I'm genuinely curious to see what the conclusion will be regarding Sweden's approach. I'm still seeing polar opposite opinions on it every week.

Swedish people are far more social than any other Western country I have visited. There is no doubt in mind that the reason they are fairing without lockdown is because they can be trusted to follow health advice. I do not think many other Western countries populace can be trusted.
