The sad part is, that current infection rate shows no signs of an effect through immunity. So even Sweden is quite a way away from herd immunity.

Sweden as a whole yes, but I think numbers for Stockholm are down and numbers for Gothenburg are up so it shifted a little (no source on this, just what I read somewhere). Similar to the low numbers we see in New York vs. the much higher ones in California.

There is an outbreak in Gällivare.

“Gällivare now has the county’s highest number of infected people,” says Stefan Nieminen, communication manager with the crisis group to Swedish Television. The situation in the town is now as bad as Stockholm at its worst, concludes the Swedish broadcaster

Like many places in Sweden, they are not social distancing enough

Apart from less public transit and more working from home Gällivare is more like doing the opposite or nothing at all.

It's currently exploding in Norbotton but other counties are on the rise as well

Bing is a bit behind though, the data for Norbotton is only up to the 8th, 10 days ago now.

Stockholm is slowly recovering but now the virus is picking up steam in the rest of the country. Her immunity could play a small role in Stockholm. Doing just enough social distancing to get the infection rate close to 1 and any bit of immunity will eventually drive it below 1. Not that that would make it safe as the 'immunity' people are getting would be very biased to those taking the most 'risks', while those that have been social distancing more will provide fresh ground for the virus to spread once they reduce their social distancing. Nor do we know how long and how effective any gained immunity might be.
