"Reported cases" is a number far smaller than the number of people infected. The later is 20 to 50 times larger.80,004 deaths in the US from Covid 19 divided by 1,346,339 Cases =5.89% (fatality rate). It's really not that complicated.
Sweden has a population of just under 10 million and no cities with a population over a million. The US has a population 330 million with 14 cities over million. The population density of Sweden's major cities is a fifth of the density of major US cities. On a per captia bases there's 32% more deaths in Sweden from Covid 19 than in the US. Sweden approach to testing has been essential workers only such as medical, police and fire which probably accounts for their low numbers of total cases reported and high numbers of deaths. You call that successful?
If vaccines aren't an option maybe you should share your knowledge with the 23 companies that are working on them and the 3 that are going into testing.
