Sweden had one of the lowest excess death rates towards the end of the pandemic, with fewer people dying compared with a normal pre-pandemic year.
In most parts of Sweden, the spread was modest and fully in line with that observed in other Nordic countries.
Since all countries in Europe imposed a large number of social-distancing restrictions, including Sweden, we can only conclude that imposing full lockdown measures and ordering people to stay at home had little additional impact, if any.
In Sweden, in contrast, the fall in economic output was actually less than that during the financial crisis of 2008.
As of last year, debt had risen by £8,400 per head in Britain compared with just £3,000 in Sweden.
Tellingly, there is no public debate in Sweden about where public spending should be cut or which taxes should rise.
Sweden did not do everything right during the pandemic.
