Swedens Corona strategy is to do on the own free will, what others do because they have to be forced. This will not work in most cases in other nations. And it works also not very good in Sweden itself, if someone compares Sweden with all other countries in the North of Europe. Only in England is the situation more worse than in Sweden.
Great Britain 49.2 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants
Sweden 32.5 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants
Netherlands 32 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants
Germany 9.2 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants
Poland 2.2 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants
Norway 4.3 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants
Finland 5 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants
Iceland 2.8 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants
Estonia 4.6 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants
Lithuania 1.8 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants
Latvia 0.9 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants

PS:
And the strategy in Sweden never had anything to do with "herd immunity" = the strategy to do nothing and to let die everyone in the gutter. For a virus (or the nature in general) it is for example not any problem to extinct a complete species and to die out on the own afterwards. A virus has nothing what we could call self-preservation capacity. A virus is insensitive. If Corona-2 mutates - and the more Corona-2 viruses exist the higher is the chance of mutations - then in a worst case scenario a descendant of the Corona-2 virus could in theory erase all mankind within a month. Sure this virus would die out afterwards too - but who cares, if not we now? The virus about itself? For sure life adapts itself very easily if all Corona-viruses and all human beings will die out. That's no problem for our planet.
If you read the article....50% of Sweden's fatalities are people in nursing homes.
If so - what makes this better? Nursing homes are not extermination camps.
The result of failure to get that right.
I don't understand what you like to say with this sentence.
Other countries have had the same issue...but not at 50%.
And?
The comparison really does not matter.
Sweden is part of Scandinavia and North Europe.
And that is the point of the article.
Sweden is already where other countries will have to be. Open.
What means "open"? Germany for example never had very strict rules in context Corona. Are we open or are we closed in your view to the world?
I don't see this. No one ever imitated or is imitating now Sweden, as far as I am able to see. Only England was in the beginning on a similar way - but latest since Boris Johnson knows what Corona is, no one in GB trivialises any longer the problems around Corona.
As the U.S. opens up, we become more like Sweden.
You think you are not able to compare Sweden with the other Scandinavian countries and other countries around them in North Europe - but with the USA? I don't have any idea what you compare in case of Sweden and the USA. The USA is an extreme capitalistic country in the size of a continent - Sweden is a little social state with about 10 million inhabitants.
