'They are leading us to catastrophe': Sweden's coronavirus stoicism begins to jar | World news | The Guardian

Whilst people go to cafés and stroll arm in arm in Stockholm healthcare professionals say the Government has let the virus loose.

“A petition signed by more than 2k doctors, scientists,& professors – inc the chairman of the Nobel Foundation, Prof Carl-Henrik Heldin – called on the government to introduce more stringent containment measures....
“We’re not testing enough, we’re not tracking, we’re not isolating enough – we have let the virus loose,”

It’s easy to forget, when you look at International data that Sweden is a small country. Under 10 million.

Their 36 deaths in the last 24 hrs = 238 in U.K. equivalent
Their 328 deaths scale up to over 2k in U.K. terms.

Their 306 in intensive care scales up to close to 2k people in serious or critical condition in U.K. terms

I would say they are taking big risks that are costing lives avoidably and are likely to be too late to check.
