But you didn't achieve herd immunity, and you're going to be in the same place as everyone else (except with more dead). There might be a marginal advantage but antibody studies show Sweden is nowhere near even the more generous estimates of what herd immunity might require.

Everything about the Swedish approach is a failure, and the amazing thing is that not only was the approach bizarre, but the Swedes have a very low testing rate relative to the number of cases - which seems like a weird move (innovate both in approach and in terms of "not knowing what's going on"). Positively 3rd world cases:deaths ratio - it's just embarrassing.
