I think we'll have to wait for the end of this to see which strategy has been effective and which one has not.
Sweden might not be at a plateau yet and turn into the UK in a couple of weeks time. Or they are indeed at a plateau and they will reach herd immunity with minimal societal and economical damage.
Other countries with hard lockdowns might look good in comparison to Sweden at the moment but might have a hard-hitting second wave.
Whatever the outcome, we won't know until this is over. Which is why I am not a big fan of comparing 'effectiveness' at this early stage.
