From what I hear from my Swedish friends the differences between Sweden's and other European countries' responses has been exaggerated. In Sweden, too, many children did not go to school or kindergarten. Many shops were closed and generally people adhered to pretty much the same rules as most other European countries. From a economic perspective, the GDP in Sweden is projected to contract 5,3% [1] which is pretty much the same as e.g. Germany. The mortality was higher than in most other nothern European countries. So I would say the strategy was 1) not that different and 2) not that effective.
