Maybe a less extreme lockdown over a longer time might make more sense?

I can't tell how different things are in Sweden than they are here. One big difference is that their schools are open. But my sense is that Europeans are much more aware of what's happening in other countries than Americans are, and Swedes who know that every other country in Europe is on lockdown are probably less likely to go about their normal life. A lot of Americans, not so much.
