Just FYI this report hasn't been voted on and there are currently two reports one by the Republicans and one by the Dems.
As someone who liked Sweden's approach, it wasn't applicable to the US. In Sweden they had in the years prior set up a strategy for something like a pandemic and had both government apperadises and legal framework in place to be able to react. The US didn't have that which led to the wide array of responses.
The biggest difference that really really made Sweden unique was the average household size in Sweden in 2020 was by some numbers 1.8 to 2 people per household. Sweden has a large percentage of people who live on their own without roommate or partners. In the US that is far from the case which would limit the effectiveness of distancing like Sweden used.
I know about the two reports, I linked both of them in the post above.
Of course it was applicable to the U.S. Exercise caution, leave people alone, provide them with sane, calm, sensible information, and let them weigh pros and cons for themselves.
Also, the U.S. is large and very diverse, perfectly capable of having varying response.
As a stupid European, my stupid European opinion might just be that (most) Americans are retarded
