> Sweden's approach is clearly one focused on long-term results. If Covid sees a resurgence in the fall or as nations return to relative normalcy, we can expect the infection and death counts to be multi-modal in most nations, while Sweden's might be a bell curve.

Other than geometric tidiness I see no point in your comment.

In fact, it ignores the denial of service impact that an epidemic has on a national health service, and plays down how it advocates for a population culling.

Perhaps it's time to relearn the basic principles and merits of "flattening the curve", not to mention the benefits of gaining some time until a vaccine is developed.
