This is the line that the Swedish authorities repeat at every possible opportunity: effectively victim-blaming the elderly, and implying that “if only all those old people hadn’t died, we’d have been fine”. But in fact deaths are higher across all age groups, compared to other comparable countries.

Again, some people are prepared to sacrifice both some portion of elderly in care homes, and some (much smaller even in Sweden) amount of other people across younger generations. As a top-rated comment points out, one of the aims with which a broad segment of the public sympathizes is “flattening the curve“, not trying to prevent any and all deaths whatsoever at any cost.
