Sweden's death rate is not "much worse" than America's.
Their death rate is about 265 deaths per million people, the US's death rate is 204 deaths per million people.
Meanwhile other European countries that have been under draconian lockdown all have much higher death rates... Spain (540 deaths per million people), France (381 deaths per million people), and Italy (477 deaths per million people).
50% of Sweden's deaths have taken place in their elderly care homes... which is the same problem that the draconian lockdown countries are having.
