Seems like Sweden's ongoing results have become politicized. If Sweden's results turn out to be not too much worse than the average, then I guess it calls into question some of other countries' continuing reactions (including my own, and which I still support)? If Sweden blows up, then we can all feel better about the more restrictive choices we've made and their necessity. Still and all, I guess I'm simply rooting for fewer deaths, in Sweden and elsewhere and overall. We'll sort it all out later, and which reactions were justified, too extreme, too lax, whatever, but I hope that Sweden's experiment winds up a great success -- for their sake, and ours.
And for what it's worth, those who have been referencing Sweden's relatively low population density need to remember that this takes into account wide stretches of essentially unpopulated land. But cities are cities pretty much everywhere, and according to this Wiki page at least, Stockholm has a greater population density than cities like Vienna, Berlin and Rome, for whatever that's worth.
