The Swedish and UK death rates seem similar. UK GDP dropped 20% in April. Sweden predicting a 10% GDP drop for 2020.
I'm very sceptical about the infection rate data and by extension the R rate. The efficacy of the antibody tests seems to be coming under increased scrutiny with doubts expressed on R4 about the testing of the antibody testing (based on half hearing the latest edition of More or Less).
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.
