Judging from the numbers in the New Statesman article below Sweden still doing 'better' than the UK in terms of death.
For a country of 10 million people with a low population density, and infection numbers still increasing, I'd say it's not looking too rosy at all for the Swedes. How are you defining 'better' in quotation marks?

I’m struggling to see how your statement is backed by that article.
The UK has a large percentage of deaths outside hospital. But if your objective was to keep people alive Sweden did not do well. Their economy looks just as damaged.
