Sweden did what had to be done this Spring.

While pinky-swearing to the WHO they were "like, totally not banking on herd immunity" because the WHO keeps saying it's a "dangerous catastrophic strategy that won't work" and nagging Sweden for their strategy...

Sweden told its old people to stay isolated at home and kept schools and buisness open for low-risk demographics to get the WuFlu and develop their immune system to its contact. Soldiered-through a pretty bad hit of excess mortality among old people.

And time prove them right. This Fall most of Europe lost the circumstancial epidemiological control Summer grants against respiratory infections, and get a new swarm of sick old people needing hospitalization. Deaths rose steadily too and they are crippled by ineffective across-the-board lockdowns again.

But not in Sweden. Deaths haven't got up over there this Fall. No lockdown, no mask, just significant barriers along transmission chains in the form many immune people.

Alternatively there is also the Taiwan strategy that worked with basically no causalty : shut borders, masks everywhere, agressive tracking and decontamination and forceful isolation of every infected for mandatory quarantine.

They largely relaxed everything by now, except forceful quarantine of people comming from abroad. ( no local transmission )

Of course Taiwan has to deal with China's epidemics spilling onto them on a periodic basis, so they were ready to turn on a dime and implement mesures other nations couldn't or wouldn't do.
