I've always thought the whole Sweden debate is kind of pointless, because there seems to be some implicit assumption that what's true for Sweden would be true for any other country if they adopted the same policy. And that assumption is pretty clearly false, isn't it? They're relatively sparse, they are disciplined, they listen to and trust recommendations. Relatively.
And also, isn't it also true that Sweden is also somewhat limited in their ability to impose regulations on their population?
So it's kind of pointless in both directions - "Sweden should have locked down a lot more", well maybe they weren't even able to, and "We should have done what Sweden did", well, if we had, the results might have been a lot worse.
