It might be worth pointing out that this (also mentioned in the article) is because sweden is a country depending on exports so our option of lockdown vs no lockdown is still a better outlock just perhaps not massivly so compared to other nations who are less depending on exports for example. If one were to look at small business for example, they are far more likely to survive now than if we had a full lockdown. My own courier company would not survive for example. We have about 75-80% less work but those 25% we still get pays my rent (granted its cheap) and a bill or 2 and once restrictions are lifted more i expect work to climb back quite a lot pretty fast. Will be a while to reach pre corona levels ofc but beats going to the unemployement lines.

FT reporting that Sweden's economy looking like it will contract at the same rate as the rest of the EU at 8-10%-so it may be that lockdown-or lack thereof-won't avoid these economic casualties, sadly.
