Sweden clear-cut its elderly population, let it spread like wildfire in nursing homes, and denied medical service to dying people at the peak of the infections. The deaths per day are low because the people suffering from it now aren't in the groups that are most likely to die. But they're still getting serious illness with SARS-like longterm health effects.

From late May:

Three-quarters of Swedes who have died have been either in nursing homes or receiving at-home care.

From late June:

The health authorities have received many complaints about how elderly relatives were treated. A consistent theme is that nursing home residents with suspected Covid-19 were immediately placed on palliative care and given morphine and denied supplementary oxygen and intravenous fluids and nutrition. For many this was effectively a death sentence.

“People suffocated, it was horrible to watch. One patient asked me what I was giving him when I gave him the morphine injection, and I lied to him,” said Latifa Löfvenberg, a nurse. “Many died before their time. It was very, very difficult.”

The idea was to keep hospital ICUs from being overwhelmed by older patients with a low chance of survival. However, the surge never happened. Instead, the elderly were denied access to unused facilities.

They murdered their parents so they could prepare for a wave of younger patients that never came. Sweden has a socialist healthcare system and you're at the mercy of the government as to whether or not you're going to receive medical care.

Probably not the best course of action.

Wait, so they were worried that there would be this surge of sick people (like a pandemic) but then it never happened? Hmmm
