Don't think the over 40's there are going about their life as normal.

Sweden’s approach saved neither people’s lives nor the economy. More people have died than in other Nordic countries and the country is heading into an identical recession - perhaps worse given Norway, Denmark and Finland have all imposed border controls which are only now starting to be loosened.
If the intention was to achieve herd immunity (aka herd thinning) it hasn’t worked either. Recent studies estimate that only 10-20% of Stockholmers have developed antibodies, and there is still no scientific proof that these either survive long enough or are capable of fighting off the infection for a second time.
