UK was slow to lockdown and currently has the fastest-rising death counts in Europe, so they're probably not the best comparison. Sweden has several multiples of the per capita death rates of its Scandivanian neighbors, and it's growing faster than many other European countries (passed Switzerland's total death count yesterday and will probably pass its per capita count tomorrow). It's still possible it will look wiser in the long-term, but it certainly doesn't so far.
