We are doing well. The chart you are showing shows a clear trend downward. The same can be seen if you look at the official charts of FOHM (Sweden's CDC). The current death rate is very low (some days at 0) and the number of infections are decreasing/at a stable low level.

That said the number of dead over the whole crisis are high, and that should not be overlooked. We need to change out strategy for future similar situations. Imo we should have protected the elderly better since that's were the large majority of deaths were (less than 100 of the deaths were among people younger than 50).

What I see from the first chart I shared is that at 140 days Sweden still has not got its death rate down to the level the other nordics achieved at 80 days.
