I realise you are comparing Scandinavian countries, but compared to the UK at present they have a death rate/million of pop at nearly half ours and furthermore their new daily cases and deaths have dropped dramatically over the last couple of days.
It is though worth bearing in mind that Sweden has a population more than 6 times lower than the U.K. with a land area that’s nearly double ours, giving a population density 12 times lower. It’s a lot harder to keep a lid on an infectious disease that spreads through close contact in small, densely populated countries and regions. I think their numbers are comparatively pretty bad and certainly don’t suggest that their strategy is working.
