Sweden is a country with a lot of nature with people spread out. If you compare it with Denmark you'll see much more people living much closer in a few urban centers. Just because one strategy worked for one country doesn't mean that strategy works for other countries.

Furthermore, none of the things that happened in 2020 had any precedence, so the only human thing to do is to shut up and listen to the experts. As there were no precedence it meant the was no research in how to tackle it which also meant different expert opinions between cultures. A time critical thing like a pandemic doesn't give you the opportunity to second-guess expert opinions, so listen to the "experts in charge" (health institute and the like) so they can form at least a somewhat congruent strategy in an unprecedented time.

Anything else is narcissistic.
