Sweden has a rate of just over 12% deaths per infected, the US is just under 6%. If we followed Sweden's plan we could have conceivably had 2,526,486 infected and 149,620 deaths at this point.
Deaths per million is nothing more than a statistic, and leads to a false sense of security. San Marino has a death rate of 1208/million, over 4 times US and Sweden, which resulted in 41 dead, yes 41!
Deaths per infection is reality!
So it comes down to choice, do I put my money on the chances of getting the virus, or do I go all in on the chances of surviving it.
Numbers don't lie, but they can be misused.
