It's not that easy to compare without knowing the size of the initial outbreaks. If you take 2 cities and drop 5000 infected into one city but just 500 into the other, then the same strategy will see extremely different outcomes.
Lots of people point to Sweden vs e.g. Norway and say "look, different strategy different outcome!" but there are as many if not more examples of "different strategy same outcome", indicating that mitigations isn't the whole story.

Do you have a source. My sources show that Norway and Denmark still have active cases and have not eradicated the virus.

Some of them are also job-free - unemployment in Norway went up manyfold since March
I feels like it's way too early to say which country did good here and which country did bad. In Spain we're mostly still in quarantine, and will continue to be. There are so many factors in this world events that it's hard to say who handled it best. Think it'll take years before we can come to any conclusions. On the surface, it seems Spain handled it much better than Sweden, as we used to have lots of cases, but now we have less. Sweden instead have remained with the same rate since end of March. So looks better, but all the falloff from this event has yet to been measured so again, too early to tell, at least for me.
