It is expected that 70% of the population will get coronavirus then we will have herd immunity. The lock down is about stopping the healthcare systems getting overwhelmed (that will cause unnecessary deaths). That's the way I understand things.

The same number of deaths will occur are likely to occur in the long term unless Sweden's ICU beds get full.

If anyone has an alternative interpretation I am open to hearing it.
