Pulling a Cuomo: implementing policies that negatively effect the elderly population in elderly homes and other residential facilities, resulting in mass casualties.
I know what "Pulling a Cuomo" means, I just don't see how it's relevant for Sweden? Neither the home service or assisted living facilities are allowed to force anyone to do anything. At most, they can lock the facility door, but the code/key must be right next to the door, that's enough to stop people with dementia from escaping, but anyone else can leave whenever they want.

Okay.
And what policies were those? I didn’t think Sweden locked down much at all. Are you saying they should have?
The Swedish government itself repeatedly declared its failure in protecting the elderly during the covid pandemic.
In what way did they fail, though?
Half of all covid deaths were in nursing homes, or something. Anyway, it's easy to look up. Just search for 'failure' 'protecting' 'elderly' 'sweden'.
