I agree that our number of deaths would be higher at this point, but would they have been higher overall? I guess it depends on if hospitals got overrun, etc.

We've had this argument. I think the Sweden argument is terrible because one, they are still social distancing. Two, they have way, way more cases than their neighbors. If they do end up having way more cases and deaths and Norway and Finland it's going to look horrible.
Thirdly, they are an entirely different society. Right or wrong, it's easy for people there to support this strategy because they don't have to worry about medical billing.
