Sweden do-nothing approach good, US/UK/other countries' early do-nothing approach bad. Why?

Are you all aware that you are arguing with someone who thinks that Taiwan and Sweden’s new case curves look similar? Hell, I had to put this chart on a logarithmic scale just to keep Taiwan from looking like a flat line. Once he made that claim, I immediately began ignoring him in all coronavirus threads as it seemed like a waste of time (not to be confused with the Ignore function of any given message board, which I did not do) .
