A stupid comment by the author. They are not developing beneficial "herd immunity" by passing around the virus. They are developing infections. And their number of deaths far exceeds those of their neighbors. Sweden is probably going to pay a price for what they are doing. Give it time.Sweden's data is woefully inadequate, and they have about 5-6 times more covid deaths than their neighboring countries.

Meanwhile, Sweden is developing herd immunity by refusing to panic. Its population is about 10.2 million, and its first coronavirus case was confirmed on January 30. Since then, Sweden’s number of coronavirus deaths has totaled 110 of 3,700 confirmed cases. During the interim, due to its refusal to impose a lockdown, its actual COVID-19 infections have probably exceeded confirmed cases by several orders of magnitude. This does not, however, mean Sweden’s health officials have failed to encourage common-sense measures like hand washing, social distancing, etc. The New York Times quotes Tegnell as follows: “We are trying to slow the spread enough so that we can deal with the patients coming in.”
