Sweden has achieved about 15% infection rate and has showed no signs of slowing.

No, the 14% figure is for people that self-requested testing. You can see it as an upper boundary, but it won't be the actual figure, which is likely around 8% or so.

Exactly. In other words 86% of Swedes who had reason to suspect an infection and wherewithal to request testing and provide sample did not have COVID.
