There is no winner strategy here. Basically Finland where I live uses "slow it down" approach. Sweden uses a bit more relaxed approach. Spain and Italy uses "slow it down" approach too with severe limitations. While Sweden has a more relaxed way they do much better than Italy or Spain (perhaps because cultural difference). While their current numbers look worse than here in Finland, the numbers might get closer with time. What I see is that Sweden's strategy has gotten closer to Finland's, and vice-versa. Then there are countries like South Korea that use surveillance, tracing, and strict guarantines. The South Korea's strategy may also end up bad as they basically rely on vaccination that may or may not happen or takes very long as with that they might not gain herd immunity (if that is possible to gain). There are other factors too, Sweden might end up a bit more deaths than Finland (per million), but Finland may endup with a more severe economic disaster. Or we may endup with same number of deaths, but here in Finland it just takes longer (and perhaps health care it not that overloaded). Recent numbers from Sweden already show declining rate of new infections. So perhaps their strategy can work. But as said, too early to make any conclusion about it. I agree with Tim. If project is of any importance, as I think Nettle is, there is no problem in finding a new maintainer in case it is needed.
