If this had the symptoms, infection rate, or mortality of the flu, playing around with herd immunity might be worthwhile, but all indications are that it's much more virulent than the flu. Russian roulette is a good metaphor.
Symptoms - agree covid is more serious for those who have symptoms
Infection rate - agree this is more contagious
Mortality - disagree. It only looks high because we are not testing widely and missing many asymptomatic people

What Sweden is doing is getting it over more quickly with a sharper curve rather than spreading it out over a flatter curve.
