I mean, sure, for a very long time Sweden had insanely high per death per capita stats. By now, though, the US has passed Sweden in deaths per capita. It's about the same, e.g. horrible, though.

Yes my point was Sweden's original policy was so bad it lead the world in deaths per capita, while it's neighbors had a small fraction of their infections / deaths and no noticeable difference in economic performance due to their lockdowns (Sweden had -9% GDP in Q2 the rest of the nordic bloc -9.8% averaged).

Their policy was and continues to be an abject failure.

I agree. The way Norway, Denmark and Finland has handled this has been superior.

And yet i'm anonymously downvoted, and pointing that out will surely get downvoted as well.

Real healthy community discussion going on.

A buch of my compatriots are really prickly about the current sitation, because of politics. I'm sorry for their behavior.
