Tegnell predicted that his approach would avoid a serious second wave in the autumn. He has admitted he was wrong about that: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/13208429/sweden-lockdown-covid-19-coronavirus-second-wave-herd-immunity/ https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/13208429/sweden-lockdown-covid...
That's a pretty big miss that should greatly concern him and his supporters.
We'll have to wait and see how overall mortality works out, but it seems very likely Tegnell's policy led to 6,000 preventable deaths in the first wave and did not have the benefits he expected.
The Swedes themselves have decided that more intensive measures are needed now:

- natrik 6y agoI think you misunderstood my comment. I already knew those 3 countries had a lower death rate.
- roca 6y agoYou are correct, my apologies. A better estimate would be 5,000 preventable deaths.
