Thats because not all old people who died lived in retirement homes. Many probably still lived in their own homes.

Unfortunately like I said you can't read, comprehend and retain the information you read nor what you write yourself. Only the irrational and ignorant are claiming the Swedish model as a success.
Your statement was and I quote
"Most Swedes who died were old people in retirement homes" and that's why
perspective was needed to show that Swedes had a far lower % of COVID-19 deaths attributed to LTCH's than the majority of the developed world. Proving the Swedish model was a failure since they had a higher % of deaths amongst those outside of LTCH's aka the general public.
But since you are talking about deaths outside of LTCH's here is more scientific data to put this into perspective of the failure in Sweden.

As we can see with a smaller population in Sweden and no guidelines of masks, social distancing or non essential business shutdowns they had around 2X more unnecessary COVID-19 deaths outside of LTCH's than we do here in Ontario. This is not even considering how Swedes in general have a greater trust in government and they do what they are told to a significantly larger degree, specially for the greater good of the community which has a significant affect on these numbers.
These numbers in Sweden are even significantly worse when compared to their Nordic bordering neighbours Denmark, Norway and Finland, once again showing the Sweden model as a failure in comparison.
Like I've said before all of this scientific data is out there for people to read, and understand what it means rather than using other people's extremely uneducated anecdotal evidence.
