This just this - at some point all of you will just stop trying to compare with Sweden - it is not possible. The government in Sweden can not impose a lockdown. Punt! Even if they had imposed one it was already too late the virus was already in the community due to the winter holidays (taken in Italy, Austria etc) and there was a massive super spreading event due to melodiefestivalen in Stockholm.... Norway, Denmark and Finland all locked down BEFORE community spread which is why they are less affected.As @Yoni has explained countless times its not like Sweden has taken a "fuck it lets do nothing" approach, theres been widespread remote working policies in place, as well as guidelines to increase social distancing, and because of social cohesion it seems to be working, due to checks and balances the gov there doesn't actually have any right to impose restrictions legally (they didn't bin Finland either but legislated to give themselves the option to do so with sunset clauses). That said in effect measure are now similar to neighbouring countries, the main difference was earlier when Denmark, Norway, and Finland shut restaurants, bars and other public places. But all of those countries have been open for months now.
