As of now deaths are ~95k which when considering the lowest death rate in a generation in 2019...and when considering that the Swedes correctly acted as if there was no pandemic (no masks no lockdown)....Deaths in Sweden for 2020 reached a national record. And the counting is not even completed yet. Medical researchers expect the total will be over 100,000.
The Swedish Prime Minister has stated the COVID policy has completed failed. The government recently instituted federal level lockdowns and restrictions.
Sweden was correct in their model (except for their protection of the long term care facilities). They crushed it.
Politicians saying otherwise means less than zero. The numbers are all you need. They state this is the weakest pandemic in 500 years.
