Sweden is accepting the inevitable up front. All the precautions we're taking along with other countries is an attempt to flatten the curve so as not to overburden our health care. We will get the same results spread out over a longer time frame while Sweden will have achieved herd immunity.

Sweden's population is 2x larger than any of those 3 other countries.

Look at Belgium - 5828 dead (same population as Sweeden - 1580 dead).

Look at other EU countries, Italy, UK, France, although larger populations, their deaths per million are also higher than Sweden's.

Doesn't seem the consensus of the people living there

Of course, they have better medical system than US, then again almost everyone does, so that has helped. They also convinced the population to take it seriously. I THINK USA might be close to that now, you still hear some attitudes that it is not that bad but the vast majority are doing social distancing and understand what needs to be done.

It's not that social distances is not going on there, it is just the population, as a whole, embraced it without need to shut schools and restaurants.
Sweden is our next step, and we are in a better spot now so we should have similar success going forward. We would NOT have had as much success early on, too many people would not have listened in USA. We can learn a lot from what they have done and done very well.
