There are 2 kinds of people/governments during a pandemic: Those with okay parents, and those who need that inheritance/medical savings

On a serious note, were Sweden's larger deaths early on in the pandemic when the government could be given a pass thinking COVID would be more easily controlled than it was? Or was it a long slow crawl? It's not like it would be easy to move thousands of elderly out of nursing homes to control things anyway. Nursing homes are not anywhere close to isolation wards so it might have been inevitable outcome.
