I don't want to jump in on the topic of whether Sweden's response was correct, but there is data to indicate that there is likely some other factor, possibly vitamin D deficiency, at play in addition to social factors. In the UK there's roughly a 4.2 times higher overall fatality rate for blacks than whites, and 1.9 after controls. That isn't enough to explain Sweden's rates, but it does look like it would plays a substantial role alongside socio-economic issues.
