Don’t post the Australian news story without reading more than the headline.
This is complete horseshit because Spain, UK, Holland and Belgium also did not have (as Italy did) a humongous influx of infected Chinese from Wuhan, they partially locked down and made masks mandatory in some countries, and they still have a higher death rate per capita than Sweden.
No doubt Spain & the UK got more visitors than Sweden did from hotspots like China & Iran. And Italy got more, too, as i already said to you before.
It's irrelevant to try to compare apples with banana peels. It's relevant to compare like with like, hence the comparison of Sweden with its 3 Northern European Nordic neighbours.
Sweden is relatively isolated up in Northern Europe, more people live alone in Sweden, & Sweden did not have (as Italy did) a humongous influx of infected Chinese from Wuhan early in the year, or a hug the Chinese campaign (that Italy did) that followed that, etc, etc, etc.
Sweden has way more total deaths than their 3 Nordic neighbours (Norway, Finland, Denmark) combined while Sweden has a 50% larger population than the 3 of them combined. And Sweden is no better off economically. Clearly hard lockdowns, as occurred in those 3 nations, were the superior choice to Sweden's soft voluntary isolation approach.
Sweden dead = 5,918
Norway dead = 278
Finland dead = 346
Denmark dead = 677
"Damn the science denying "Stable Genius" crowd, you all have the same commonality of not retaining, or understanding any information that you read, specifically if you have a predisposition on it formed from your biased & non factual way of thinking.
Here is a thread that I've explained the great similarities of Nordic countries to one another and the differences to other European countries from them, there is also articles linked in there that also touches on the point of sociological norms from Nordic countries to one another and the difference to other European countries.

If you lived in Europe and you didn't understand the undeniable similarities of Nordic countries to one another and their difference to the rest of Europe you lived an uninformed life. Even after this has been explained to you numerous times in different threads it's astonishing that you still do not understand this. One would have to be completely oblivious to it's surroundings and facts to not understand this.
Not that I expect you to understand or retain any of the information from the posts or articles in that thread.
Now your turn to answer the previous questions which you don't have a logical response for.
The scientific data shows the rate of transmission in both Sweden and Denmark is very similar proving your non factual theory to be false. Please do explain how you view Denmark to be in a 2nd wave yet you view Sweden's number of cases to be on a downslope and it being proof of Sweden reaching herd immunity?
Please also do explain how you originally thought the reduced number of deaths was proof of herd immunity?"

Sweden dead = 5,918

Denmark's 2nd wave is already declining while their deaths are almost nil & way lower than Sweden in Sweden's first wave.
OTOH Sweden's 2nd wave is spiking, skyrocketing, with no end in sight & its first wave had way more deaths than Denmark.
Bottom line: Sweden (no lockdown) is the loser. Denmark (lockdown) is the winner.
