Sorry, don't get this obsession with Sweden due to the size of population v size of country difference that makes it very difficult to compare countries. I'm no fan of the way the UK or indeed Scotland have dealt with the crisis but we are largely in line (deaths per 100k of population) with other similar sized countries. On this criteria the UK at 75 is similar to the US at 73 only a little worse than France at 65 but a hell of a lot better than some eg Belgium 121. Sweden's comparisons have to be with similar sized countries not too far away. Sweden at 61.4 is nearly at France's level compared with Denmark 13, Finland 6 and Norway 5. There is a major split in Sweden both in the scientific community and the public as to whether the government have got it right or wrong. They are ramping up their restrictions and in many folks eyes heading for lockdown. There is ever growing unrest in the population who rightly compare with their neighbours and the government is increasingly unpopular for not doing more during the early days and even more recently until their very recent change of tack. Our comparisons in the UK have to be France, Spain, Italy & Germany etc. Compare us with Germany and criticism is definitely warranted. But Sweden No!
