I guess everything is relative, but I'm not sure I would say the economic damage is minimal. Maybe in comparison with other countries, but I'm not sure how clear that is. Especially if other countries can go South Korean style and get back to full speed faster, Sweden could very well be left behind in terms of the economy as well.

Number of deaths so far is very high compared to the neighbouring countries, and there is still a long way to go before herd immunity.

In general, it seems to me quite insane that Sweden already in the beginning of March basically had decided to infect millions of people with a virus we only had a month of experience with or something like that.

Like every other time people talk about economic damage and "letting the cure be worse than the disease" the specific dog whistle above is talking about the impact to companies, in particular the banks which rely on rent and loan payments, which has been heavily targeted for indirect subsidy in the US - compared to talking about the damage this does to individuals and their well being, all of which can be well supported through this crisis with an approach like that taken by Denmark.
