You're misreading the numbers. The only thing that sees use through to the other side is when the virus runs out of viable hosts - this happens through either a vaccine or anti-body production from a previous infection. Sweden's strategy takes an accelerated approach to inevitable infections. So as long as they can keep the health system from being overwhelmed, this is the correct approach, but it is risky and hard to manage due to the long incubation period. They'll be done with this far sooner than a hard quarantine will while still having people die.
