I don't know why people say that Sweden's strategy is effective. Sweden's death rate is 1,144 deaths per million population. That's a bit less than Spain's, which is 1,263. But nobody is saying we should follow Spain's strategy. By comparison, Germany, with eight times Sweden's population, has a death rate of under 700 per million. Canada is 531. Denmark is 370. Sweden's other neighbours, who closed their border to Sweden because they trusted Sweden's approach so much, have death rates of 122 (Finland) and 104 (Norway). Regarding the economic side: 2020 Q3 growth in Germany was 8.5% vs 4.9% in Sweden. In Q1 and Q2 the slump was 1.7% worse than in Sweden.
