Sorry but there are other paths to containing the virus without resorting to draconian measures, especially when those measures are indiscriminate blunt instruments (for example applying same restrictions to urban and rural areas).

Sweden's first case with community spread was from the end of February, so it's been spreading for a month or two less than in, say, Germany. Despite that Sweden has the same per capita infection rate and a per capita death rate of around 3x Germany's. And that's still with some social distancing requests, there just isn't a stay at home order. So yes, unless Sweden tightens restrictions, I'd expect to see it hit an order of magnitude harder than nations doing more restrictions, despite still having some.
