Sweden approach makes the most logical sense and is sustainable.
The only area they messed up was not locking away old people
Most of the death tallies have been old people and cocooning the old people and limiting their visits may be the best approach.
Why not just lock down the old people and business as usual for the young fit healthy people?

Sweden hasn't flattened the curve yet though, it's still growing. Meanwhile their reported deaths are very erratic, the most irregular reporting in Europe. I don't know what the approach looks like on the ground, but at this rate it will have to be sustained much longer than countries that put bigger brakes on early and go back to opening business like Austria and Australia.
