All the lockdowns, masks, and socialist distancing in the world isn’t going to stop the susceptible from catching this bug. Isolate the vulnerable. Treat the sick. Mourn the dead and move the F on.
No one who actually understands the situation views Sweden as a model. If anything, Sweden is a cautionary tale

"Sweden’s grim result — more death, and nearly equal economic damage — suggests that the supposed choice between lives and paychecks is a false one: A failure to impose social distancing can cost lives and jobs at the same time.

Per million people, Sweden has suffered 40 percent more deaths than the United States, 12 times more than Norway, seven times more than Finland and six times more than Denmark.

The elevated death toll resulting from Sweden’s approach has been clear for many weeks. What is only now emerging is how Sweden, despite letting its economy run unimpeded, has still suffered business-destroying, prosperity-diminishing damage, and at nearly the same magnitude of its neighbors."

Sweden's example doesn't really prove your point
