At the moment Sweden has statistically done worse than it's neighbours, but that's potentially like reporting a half-time score as the final score. As @jv said, they might sail through winter with ease whilst other countries that implemented lockdown suffer. It'll probably be a couple of years before we can accurately assess which strategies worked better than others.

Absolutely true. Although I think its possible to say they have had x10 the death rate of their Scandinavian neighbours so far.
Seems a bit early to say that no lockdown has worked well given that so many more people died. Its also too early to say that if Sweden had locked down they wouldn't have had x10 higher death rate than their neighbours.

That might well turn out to be the case if that situation remains the same until Spring.
Doesn't explain why Sweden has done so much worse than its neighbours though.
