For now Sweden has slightly fewer deaths per capita than the UK, so their last minute change does not seem to have helped much. While I was and still am in favor of a harsher lockdown the Swedish strategy does not seem to perform that badly.
There are countries with harsh lockdown doing both doing way worse and way better, so other factors may matter more.
