The Swedish Agency for statistics has put their spreedsheet on reported deaths online and just eyeballing it, until the beginning of april it is about the same and then the usual level of 220-320 deaths/day jumps to 300-360. (I am not including the last few days, as SCB notes that their numbers lag, and demonstrates it in table 8.)

This matches fairly well the Corona mortality reported to have climbed to around 100/day and which looks right now to be stagnating at that level. So far, it is mainly Stockholm that is worst hit.

Healthcare in Sweden has expanded the amount of intensive care that can be provided and has plans to expand more if needed. Much of the hospitals can be converted to ICUs. Equipment has been a problem, but it looks like it is now the amount of and endurance of the staff that will be the real limiting factor. There has been succesful recruiting for temporary exoansion, inventories has been made among existing staff and crash courses has been established to get doctors and nurses up to speed to work in ICU departments, but in the end there is limits here to what can be done in a short time if the staff is to be able to handle it. So far, the health care system is handling it. People are dying from the disease, not from lack of healthcare.

Btw, I am uncertain on how much Sweden really differs in amount of social distacing, and how much is just a difference in approach. Instead of bans and legislation Sweden has mainly used agency recommendations, broadcasted at two o'clock every afternoon. Most people seems to be following the recommendations.

Most everyone who can work from home do, social distancing is to a large extent observed and most establishments has taken action to enforce a minimum distance of one anf a half meters. Grocery stores has marked out recommended distance on the floor, restaurants has made sure (under threat of this being included in food and safety inspections) to space out tables or close of every other table, etc etc.

Main difference is in keeping schools and daycare for kids open. The agency in charge of people's health argues (from research) that it should be enough if everyone with symtoms self-isolate until symtoms has passed and then another 48 hours. Regulation for staying home with ill kids has been amended, so has regulations for staying home ill, and payments has been made slightly more generous. At any time, some 25-30% of kids in schools, teachers in schools, staff at most places were you can't work from home, are home with symtoms or self-isolating for 48 hours.

In general, the approach seems to work as markets are crashing. People may go out to eat, but they are not. People may travel, but they are not.

Almost every organisation I am a member of has scrapped all physical meetings and are learning to have digital meetings instead (the virus arrived just in time for the big meeting season). They may hold physical meetings, but they are not.

A neighbour who is a painter (the kind that paints interior walls and puts up wallpaper) says that no one wants a stranger coming into their house right now. He's not worried though, the mix of government support coming in will tidy him over. Government printing press is running like if we hadn't had three decades of arguments about how money doesn't grow on trees, etc.

The reasoning behind the more volountary approach is that this way will have a high enough percentage of people following the recommendations, while generating less opposition. I don't know what works better, but I sure hope it will work.
