While their strategy seems to not have led to disaster, it's not certain whether one would call it success. Shutdowns clearly didnt work well in some countries (france,spain,italy,uk) but they seem to work well in most eastern europe countries and germany. People are not being infected at large . Some of his remarks are generally questionable and worth a second thoughts > Closing borders, in my opinion, is ridiculous, because COVID-19 is in every European country now. There are many countries with very few COVID cases, and some of them are summertime destinations for swedes (like greece). It's certainly dangerous to open borders with a highly infected country like sweden without rigorous checks. Europe is big. > Each country has to reach ‘herd immunity’ in one way or another Not all countries are looking to get there fast. In fact countries that delay the spread are hoping for a potential cure/treatment that will make herd immunity much less painful. Herd immunity isnt even necessary - plenty of diseases don't need immunity/vaccines. Also, while it's nice that sweden chose a relaxed, voluntary approach, the lockdown measures have wide support in many countries. He s right that governments should be measuring the impact of measures though. Sweden should be doing so too, it would be very useful to know which are the most important infection routes, now that other countries are opening up
