Because it is mostly Americans here (an assumption) who are bitching about Sweden. Now when we have 10-12 US states with lock down doing just as bad as Sweden, Americans here have no right to bitch anymore.
That simple...
Also it shows the weakness of a badly executed lock down. If you are doing as bad with lock down as other countries without it, then why bother and screw your business life and employment??

The issue is that many believe the stats aren't true about Sweden and there's a misconception about Sweden's not doing a lockdown...
They actually did a lockdown but they (as in Sweden) coined it as a "Lockdown Lite".
Regardless, whom did the lockdown with the most restrictions...the above partly answers your question via the fact that Sweden did a Lockdown Lite.
The other part to your question, too late to wonder about the
why. It's now more about what's going to happen in tomorrow, next month, end of year and next year. That's the true frustration for most.
As stated, I have no skin in this game when it comes to Sweden. Yet, I just find it odd whenever
facts are posted...certain individuals ignores them and then runs away as if they had some skin in the game to Sweden.
Then again, this is ET and such type of behaviour is the norm.
Yet, as stated in another thread, if I was going to compare the U.S. Covid-19 response / results...it would be to itself in comparison to the prior Pandemic...SARS.
As stated, I won't bother posting facts because I've come to the conclusion that certain individuals aren't interested in such. They prefer to be ignorant and ignore the facts. That's also their choice to be as such. Yet, I do find it oddly similar to the response that the U.S. had (still do) when the Pandemic was first declared as a Pandemic.
I'm going to assume that the government of Sweden made a decision that their citizens will co-operate and be socially responsible. Thus, they decided to only do a "Lockdown Lite" whereas the U.S. didn't trust its citizens with something like a "Lockdown Lite" policy...rhetorical question.
The day a
vaccine is approved and distributed to all in the world, I'm hoping they don't fuck that up too.
P.S. In my opinion, the U.S. would be far worst as a country that did not lockdown
or only did a lockdown lite because they do not have what it takes to be socially responsible from the top (leaders) down to its citizens.
Completely different group in charge then those when SARS Pandemic.
