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

What policy is that? Still the fake narrative on herd immunity? Deaths are almost back to normal. Why would anyone do that if the goal is herd immunity?pic.twitter.com/eiLthLF6Be

The general policy. Whatever else we can say, it seems like the claims of some proportion of immunity slowing down spread is largely untrue. There was actually a piece from Sverige radio linked in that piece where Tegnell was quoted as such, but the link is no longer working

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 …

I think that it certainly is a more complex thing than a simple question, but I think it's not unfair to compare across Nordic countries. I do think that the epidemic dynamics are very changeable in terms of individual behaviour however - Sweden has definitely proven that
