Denmark has had 100 deaths per million and neighboring Swedish region Scania has had 139 deaths per million (1.4 million population). The death rate of just the regions of Zealand and Copenhagen is 170 per million (2.6 million population). The same strategy has been in place in Stockholm and Scania, so why is the death rate not higher everywhere in Sweden?
Maybe leaving schools, stores and restaurants open is not what's behind the high number of deaths in predominantly Stockholm, but something else, like how the elder care homes are managed. It doesn't seem fair to point to Sweden's high death numbers when Stockholm is a big outlier that skews the average. In most other parts of Sweden the people are doing fine, without lockdown.
