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

and Sweden is in a big recession. The modern world is so connected, particularly in Europe, that major economic events will inevitably impact everyone in similar ways.
