Spain had one of the strictest lockdowns in Europe AFTER doing almost nothing to stop spreading the virus for a long time. They only reacted when there was no alternative. It is not just bigger than Sweden, official deaths in Spain are 27.000, the real number (taking seasonal death rate) is way over 43.000, making it the biggest per million deaths rate in the (Western) world, as Belgium (the one with the biggest number) did consider the seasonal rate. By the way, in Spain the gobertment "resurrected" over a thousand people, going from 28.750 to 26.830 overnight. Remember that Spain did nothing because the socialist-communist government did not want to cancel the women's day march the 8th of March and waited until 9th for starting to do something. They announced that and waited another week before implementing what they had announced. While doing nothing, they minimized the problem, and told the people not to worry, they were in charge, only a couple of cases were expected. TVs joked about coronavirus and denounced other countries attitude against Spaniards, putting them on quarantine for staying in infected countries. So Spain has the most deaths of the Western world because they waited almost 2 weeks letting more than a million people(100.000 positive PCRs test) get infected before doing something. The lockdown made that million people only infect from 5 to 6 other million people(it could infect more than 40 million). If was extremely painful for the economy and made the country temporarily a dictatorship of the socialist-communist that put them in that position in the first place.
