I certainly don't like the death rate either. Unfortunately lots of countries are in the same ballpark, 3-4/10000, but with wildly varying stragies. "Only a few months" happens to be the same timeframe for almost everyone else, so not sure why that is relevant. We aren't "doing very little", lots of restrictions on behaviour and travel, but certainly less strict than many other places. "Effort" isn't a good proxy for effective in these circumstances.

I think there is at least two things going on: - The long-run approach being taken makes it seem like nothing is going on, since there isn't much action. Slow and steady easily registers and stillness. - Tons of misreporting, in all directions. I get newsclips from friends in the UK that are just out wrongwrongwrong, and they are wrong in different ways and directions!

With this being said, I hope that Sweden's approach is in't the best! Why? Well, that would mean that large parts of the rest of the world is doing something better (if we simplify it into "lockdown" vs "limited restrictions"). That would cost us here in Sweden 1000's of unnecessary death, but perhaps spare millions in the rest of the world.
