Somehow putting Sweden into same bucket with Italy and Spain does not seem right. Sweden was widely criticized for not imposing any lockdown measures while Italy and Spain has seen one of the most aggressive and longest lockdown restrictions ever. Still Sweden lags behind Italy and Spain in terms of lives lost.

> Still Sweden lags behind Italy and Spain in terms of lives lost. Sweden had a fatality rate of 583 per million. Denmark had 126, Finland 65, Norway 52. So in terms of regional performance Sweden was very poor. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1104709/coronavirus-deaths-worldwide-per-million-inhabitants/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/1104709/coronavirus-deat...

  That's called cherry picking. The UK and France and Italy and Spain are all part of the same region.

Sweden messed up, but not in the way people are making it to have. They messed up because their care homes and their entire care system for the elderly was poorly managed, but not because they somehow let the disease rip through the general population.
