Half of all covid deaths were in nursing homes, or something
But this is exactly what you'd expect given who was actually vulnerable to covid, as well as their unusually good previous few years for flu. Aus at one point had 3/4 being in/from nursing homes. That's who the disease is dangerous to, of course that's where the deaths are, even for places locking everything down.
Also, because they were unique in doing a 'focused protection' and really only doing lockdown stuff for nursing homes (but for relatively brief other stuff) expect to see everyone else's media slamming them for not going full lockdown as hard as they all did. A search for 'sweden' 'covid' 'elderly' 'or whatever is just going to get you slop propaganda criticising them for not locking down harder
Unless you support the lockdowns, in no way did they have a 'failure'
I’m going to second everything u/vicious_snek6 said, but I’ll also add that even if you say “Sweden should have much more aggressively protected nursing homes… somehow…” which I don’t agree with, that still doesn’t rise to the level of “pulling a Cuomo,” which would have required them to actively force covid patients into nursing homes in order to intentionally infect the elderly and inflate the death rate.
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'.
