Only seven countries have done worse than Sweden[1] in terms of deaths/population. It's worse than the US, 4 times worse than Germany, 95 times worse than South Korea and 1895 times worse than Taiwan. Despite having plenty of advance warning and (wasted) opportunity to learn from what other countries had done.

Give it a few months. We will discuss about it. Let the those countries have their second wave they will be same as Sweden but with broken economy!

  The Swedish economy is already suffering. The swedish economy fell by (8.6%) 2nd quarter [1] compared to Denmark (7.4%) [2].

    Your conclusion is wrong. Sweden is going to fully open since COVID19 is solved issue now. Denmark is going to suffer months, not years still.

  The government assures us[1] that the strategy was not motivated by economic considerations. Taking them at their word and judging it by the stated objective of curbing the pandemic and protecting people's health, it has been a colossal failure from the start. Also, with Taiwan's current total[2] of 7 deaths, for them to "be the same as Sweden" there would have to be 13 000 deaths in the second wave. Unless the CDC initiates an exchange program to swap their experienced staff for Sweden's bumbling incompetents, that doesn't seem likely.

Another interesting source on mortality rate without looking at the cause of death: https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps Here you can clearly see how Sweden has done much worse than its neighbours.
