Sweden compared to U.S. and Canada : https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-daily-deaths-trajectory-per-million?country=CAN~SWE~USA As you can see, Sweden's curve rose, flattened, and started dropping, just like every other country, >>> regardless of implementing lighter restrictions. <<< But at about 45 days since 0.1/mil deaths, their curve nearly stopped dropping, and nearly flattened. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-daily-deaths-trajectory-per-million?country=SWE~FRA~IRL Why? Because they failed to get the Long Term Care situation under control. About 90% of fatalities were the elderly, with at least one severe comorbidity, and about 75% of fatalities were the elderly in long term care. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1107913/number-of-coronavirus-deaths-in-sweden-by-age-groups/ https://www.france24.com/en/20200510-sweden-admits-failure-to-protect-elderly-in-care-homes If they had gotten this situation under control, their curve would have continued to drop, just like every other countries'.
