I think you have to look at what you define as "success". If keeping deaths at an absolute minimum from the current COVID pandemic than a non Swedish model is probably better. However, if the goal is to not hurt an economy and to develop herd immunity to protect against the next time COVID comes around then I think the Swedish model is good. Its hard because lives are at stake either way and I am glad I just have my little 1st world decisions like how to get back to the BVIs...

I am just looking at this from how the BVI has handled this so far without judgment. If they are successful at their quarantine then they will have little to no herd immunity so they will need to wait until an all clear worldwide or at least make people coming in quarantine for 14 days...

All IMHO
