Compared to other Nordic countries Sweden went horribly wrong. On EU-level, about average.

Finland did much better without strict lockdowns. Just limit group events limit restaurants open hours, shut down schools for the worst times etc. Sweden could have saved thousand of people with just slightly more restrictions.
