To moderate this a bit: the two people quoted in the article are politicians for the nationalist and more nationalist right wing parties. They both have things to gain by portraying the current policies in bad light. Reports about withheld care have been hard to verify. Reports about lousy routines with regards to sanitation and disinfection have been more common. The debate about the quality of this kind of care has been going on for more than 2 decades, since even before Sweden's rather extreme laws about winnings in state-funded health care. The utter failure of these homes to not spread covid-19 is the real news. The numbers are atrocious, and stories about workers walking from sick elderly to healthy elderly without proper procedures have been rather common. Sure, the angle BBC chose is juicier, but I have some serious doubts about the accounts published.
