And what do the Swedish think about it???

Public support for Sweden's controversial coronavirus strategy is plummeting
Unlike most European nations, Sweden never closed society down, opting instead to keep schools for under-16s open, as well as cafes, bars and restaurants.

Confidence in the Swedish authorities' ability to manage the coronavirus pandemic has fallen, a poll published on Tuesday showed, as the death toll has soared amid a highly-publicised light-touch approach.
Unlike most European nations, Sweden never closed society down, opting instead to keep schools for under-16s open, as well as cafes, bars and restaurants and most businesses.
The Public Health Agency argued that lockdowns only work temporarily, insisting that drastic short-term measures are too ineffective to justify their impact on people.
The country of 10.3 million has reported 5,122 COVID-19 deaths, far exceeding the combined total of its Nordic neighbours which all adopted much stricter measures.

As a result, many countries now opening up to tourism have barred Swedes from entry, including closest neighbours Denmark, Finland and Norway.
Stockholm has also been slow to roll out mass testing.
An Ipsos poll of 1,191 Swedes published in daily Dagens Nyheter showed that in June, 45 percent had "strong confidence" in authorities' ability to handle the crisis.
That compared with 56 percent in April, while those who had "little confidence" rose from 21 to 29 percent.
And 57 percent now have "strong confidence" in the Public Health Agency, down from 69 percent in April.

It's the country that was heavily criticised for deciding to do things differently when it came to coronavirus – to ignore lockdown and keep bars and schools open.And it paid a price with at least 5700 deaths, putting it in the top 10 of nations in terms of coronavirus deaths per million.But, as time goes on, Sweden's controversial approach to tackling Covid-19 is winning over some sceptics.The Swedish economy has shrunk less than other nations and cases have fallen dramatically, deaths have essentially dried up and no significant second wave has occurred. In fact, right now, Sweden looks better than Australia.However, some virus watchers have warned that Sweden's success could be a mirage, that a Scandinavian trait could be behind the low current numbers and the real test could come in as little as one month's time.

@MemeFx those polls are old now and the above (news from 19/08/20) may just result in different poll results if those polls were taken tomorrow.
Its going to be interesting to see how Sweden's situation evolves. Their own health experts admit that much better care and protection should have been taken of their elder folk , to protect those vulnerable with comorbidities.
