Compared with Denmark, Finland and Norway, the rates of infection, hospitalization, and death per million population were "much" higher in Sweden, according to evidence cited by the authors. In addition, infections and death remained persistent, the pair said, beyond that seen during critical weeks in Denmark, Finland and Norway. Their "rapid lockdown measures seem to have been initially more successful in curtailing the infection surge," they said.
Concluding, they wrote: "Only once we can fully understand both the pandemic and the impact of the measures that were taken—after 1–2 years at least—can we then begin fairly to judge what was done correctly."
The conclusion is correct.
