Looking at the graphs of Sweden's infection rate, it seems like it peaked in early June and then went down. In May/June restrictions were only loosened, not made stricter. So any decrease in infections has to be in spite of the government's strategy, not because of it... right? And as other commenters have pointed out, the death toll and mortality rate is inexcusable, and there was no economic gain from Sweden's approach. Just because the trend is going in the right direction now doesn't excuse the fact that their response had terrible results compared to neighboring countries.
