UK initially had the same plan as Sweden, but they got cold feet very quickly after the Imperial College (Ferguson) dire predictions of millions of people dead.

How well would Sweden's approach work in other countries? In many ways, Sweden is not that typical: population is healthy, apart from Stockholm population density is low, people mostly live in single person households and they naturally keep distance, there's high government trust and high compliance, there's not much travel within the country (and if it is it's by car to go to some summer/winter cottage). All these characteristics are more or less the opposite of the US.

And Sweden still had many measures in place: work from home, schools were mainly closed (open only for younger people), large events were not allowed, limits in bars/restaurants, travel was restricted (only residents and some exceptions).

So, in many regards it wasn't much different than elsewhere except that measures were less heavy-handed and forceful. But people mostly complied with "recommendations" and adjusted behavior.

Sure, I would take Sweden's approach over other countries.
