Eliminating the "karensdag" kind of proves my point: Sweden did take measures, essentially buying the population into voluntary isolation. I agree that this is less dramatic to report on than full-blown lockdowns enforced with police action. What picture do you put on the front page? A dad calming staying home and enjoying time with his kids? :) However, calling these measures "herd immunity" is misleading. Also, even after eliminating the "karensdag" Sweden was in a way better welfare position than e.g. US, where worker were going unprotected and sick to work, for fear of losing their job.
