> The reason why Sweden's strategy consists of letting covid19 spread like wildfire
This is so far from the truth that it's not even funny anymore. You are obviously not Swedish, and you obviously have no idea what the situation is actually like in Sweden.
If you think you're getting an accurate view of Sweden's strategy, response, and outcome through non-Swedish media, you are completely mistaken. The amount of misinformation in foreign media has been absolutely off the charts this year.
Here is the official Swedish strategy, read it yourself and stop spreading crap:

"Point 1: Limit the spread of infection in the country
By limiting the spread of the virus, the Government aims to relieve pressure on the health care system and protect people’s lives, health and jobs."
That's pretty much the opposite of "letting it spread like wildfire".
> Sweden's population density is a fraction of Italy's and Spain's
The national average population density tells you absolutely nothing in this case, and the number is that low because Sweden has a whole lot of land where noone lives. You bringing this up in a corona discussion only shows even more that you know absolutely nothing about Sweden and obviously never been there.
For reference, Sweden is 87% urbanized, while Spain is only 81%, and Italy even less at 71%.
