Sweden was beating the "we're not restricting stuff!" drum for a while, but eventually they chickened out and locked down, just like everyone else, if not more. They are not a good example.

I live in Sweden. There were some restrictions on closing times of bars, and seating in shopping centres.

This is nothing compared to the "stay in your flat for a month" lockdowns in Italy and Spain. Or shutting almost everything in the UK, France, Australia, NZ, etc.
