Re: COVID is nothing compared to being hacked to death with a machete over the last tin of beans.
That approach didn't work in Sweden, they isolated their elderly and the elderly died in vast numbers.
The elderly died in larger numbers everywhere (but not 'vast' numbers), the difference in Sweden is that due to their approach the death rate in the rest of the population was much lower. Overall deaths per capita were similar to UK/Spain/Italy but without the catastrophic damage caused by lockdown.
