The Germans news is trustworthy?
Deutsche Welle in general is very trustworthy.
I find it really weird that this report (and many others) is still claiming that the Swedish strategy was to aim for herd immunity. It never was, and I think any epidemiologist would tell you that a herd immunity strategy when a vaccine is unavailable is just never applicable. The WHO scientist interviewed in this report also corrects the reporter about this being a strategy for the UK and Sweden. As far as I can tell, the Swedish strategy has always been to try to flatten the curve as much as possible, to protect the healthcare system, using the legislative and behavioural tools available. The high per capita death rate is a failure, and the state epidemiologist admits to that. But I think it's more of a result of an erosion of underlying care systems due to austerity and privatisation measures. For example, the Stockholm region, our most populous region, has a Covid-19 fatality rate of 17.2% as of yesterday's data. But the Västra Götaland region, the second most populous region, has a fatality rate of 9%, obviously with the same strategy and recommendations in place.
As infections began to accelerate in March, Sweden built more intensive care units, temporarily almost doubling the available capacity to 1200 beds. Currently, the number of Covid-19 patients in ICU:s are 335, declining from a peak of 558 in late April:
Daily death rates are also on a steady decline since a peak in early April:
