What? Denmark and Sweden has the same strategy. The countries look demographically different, which is why government policies vary. But they have the same end goal.
The administrative staff that report the numbers are free on weekends? But numbers are unreliable everywhere. There's a shortage of tests and testing capacity. If there's a queue to a testing lab they're going to wait with the already dead patients. Triage patients have priority. Lab staff are already over-worked everywhere. It's a bottle neck.
No. I think that's exactly what it means. Now Denmark will ease restrictions. Sweden will keep on doing what they have been doing all the time

The link doesn't say what you want to conclude from it. Denmark isn't easing some restrictions because they've achieved widespread immunity, they are (tentatively and with a foot on the brake) easing some restrictions because they believe that they have stomped hard enough that they can do so and still keep R(eff) below 1.0 with those restrictions that remain in place. Nothing about Sweden follows from that.
I thought that was what I said? Both Sweden and Denmark is very far from herd immunity still.
You said that you expect Sweden to peak earlier because they have laxer measures. That makes sense if Denmark and Sweden both flatten the curve, with Denmark doing more of it, but both eventually reaching the same number of cumulative infections. It does not make sense if Denmark and Sweden both try to suppress the outbreak without getting a high number of infections, and Denmark taking a more radical approach in doing so. In the latter case, the eventual total number of infections is expected to be lower, and the peak crucially
earlier, in Denmark.
Here is, literally, what you said: "[Sweden] had less restrictions so should have had it a couple of days earlier." This does not make sense when both aim at stomping out the outbreak before it reaches high numbers, but it does make sense if both merely flatten the curve.
