This could possibly be the worst lie I've heard this week. And I've listened to Trump.

But in DN (behind a paywall) there have been other articles where those that questioned Sweden's policy have even been personally threatened.
Tegnell has been wrong about pretty much everything - from saying that the pandemic had reached its "peak" in Sweden when we had 137 cases[1] to being consistently wrong about how far we've supposedly come with 'herd immunity' - which was supposed to be around 50% by the beginning of June, but which has shown itself to be only around 7-10% in the worst-affected areas in Stockholm.
There is also a lot of finger-pointing in articles and comments by Swedes, accusing other Nordic countries of purposely under-estimating their covid figures - whereas the actual statistics[2] show that Sweden itself is the only Nordic country with massively under-estimated deaths.

I'm not saying he didn't mean or say peak total infections in the interview. I'm just saying that particular article is all over the place.
Edit: On the contrary, according to the article he said we could very well be hit by a new wave from new arrivals.
