Pretty hard to celebrate Sweden at this point.

They are playing the long game. They are counting on, in the end, everyone's death rate will be about the same. They look worse right now, in the short haul, by they are banking on not experiencing the second and third waves others will experience as restrictions are lifted. Time will tell. If, in the end, everyone comes out about the same with regards to death rates, and they did not shut everything down and suffer economically, that should tell us something about what to do "next time".
