The stupidity of this approach is so obvious, it is clear you are taking the piss, so I will leave you to amuse yourself with these absurd ideas.
I suppose you can always blame it on the ‘experts’ when you are eventually proved wrong, as you will be. Unless you are an expert yourself, jfman, in which case you have nowhere to run!

What about the lives of people subject to lockdown after lockdown? Are they better off with the virus running rampant, for a questionable level of immunity, to have no health service of note AND an economy tanking?
I doubt it.
Jobs and businesses need protected - that's where borrowing and taxation come in to plug the gap and an effective test, trace, isolate system are essential.
The Swedish economy is in decline, so it's absolutely false to pretend that not controlling the virus is an economic solution. Isolating the vulnerable, and those who choose to be selective, reduces demand in the economy. Businesses are going to fail either way, you either support them financially or you don't.
I fail to see how I will be proven wrong not a single country of any note is taking your approach seriously.
