> It seems to me that the experiment is countries trying to eradicate the virus through lockdown as opposed to just slowing it down, with no evidence that this is working or could ever work.

It seems to be working in Vietnam, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia, and others ... even China probably.

Those countries have achieved local elimination or very close to it and are reopening (or never locked down) and have not yet had to (re)turn to wholesale lockdown.

So "Every country will have to adopt the Swedish approach eventually or find themselves caught in an endless cycle of lockdowns" is, at best, not proven.
