I think the Swedish health authorities admitted they made mistakes in not properly isolating old people's homes etc. They could have done better, and the virus does appear to be getting less severe as well.Think that make sense but I don't think you have to reach our levels. We let a ton of old folks die without setting foot in a hospital. Like our hospitals didn't get overwhelmed but the timing of when our guidelines started dictating that old people probably was better off getting morphine then oxygen if they seemed sick and probably should stay where they were used to their enviorment rather then come to a hospital.
So yea, you might be right about infection rates that might hit the same levels at some point but I don't think countries with a slower rate of infection will hit the same death rates.
As a libertarian I think that some of the stuff the rest of the world does is dumb as shit, but we took some really weird decisions too.
But lock downs are not sustainable and incredibly destructive; its only supposed to be a delaying tactic to get your shit together or using them in specific locations where the infection rate is getting out of control, but somehow the pie in the sky when pigs fly idea of eradicating the virus by hiding forever seems to have deeply permeated some quarters.
