@Walter Hinteler,
Sweden was often named to be the best example how to deal with the pandemic:
• the two major Swedish regions of Stockholm and Skåne have both been forced to postpone non-emergency care as the healthcare sector works hard to cope with a surge in coronavirus cases since this week.
"We got three different scenarios from the Public Health Agency this summer. We prepared for the worst, and it turned out twice as bad," Falk, a doctor at an intensive care unit at the Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm told AFP.

• The king of Sweden has said the country’s anti-lockdown coronavirus strategy has failed, as hospitals in the Stockholm region warned they were struggling to cope with a surge in cases and polls showed public confidence in the authorities had plunged to a new low.
"The people of Sweden have suffered tremendously in difficult conditions," King Carl XVI Gustaf told the state broadcaster SVT in an end-of-year interview. "I think we have failed. We have a large number who have died, and that is terrible."
