The really sad thing here is that we had enough information before Sweden pursued their policy to know it was probably a bad idea
Thousands of deaths later, we can be fairly certain

Yep! Weird that the link broke Anyway, herd immunity notwithstanding I think the general position on having a sustainable level of community spread has proven to be more costly than beneficial

If you only count deaths and don't take the initial situation into consideration maybe. Otherwise it's a very hard judgment call Sweden was in an obviously worse situation than the other nordic countries even before "the lockdown week"https://twitter.com/luhugerth/status/1270319261198811136 …

Then after that you have to consider other parts of public health. Closed schools are very negative for a lot of children for instance. So closing down more things has negative effects on health to, just not acutely on covid-19 numbers or excess deaths
