A more mixed picture than the author suggests. Sweden has had double the COVID mortality of its Nordic neighbors, a more 'apples to apples' comparison, than using all of Europe. https://charts.medriva.com/region/1 Swedes as a whole also remained quite good on social distancing throughout, and did remote learning as well during major surges.
While more reasonable in retrospect on masking and school interruptions (especially for younger kids), and as the immunity wall of infection and vaccination has been built, this was less clear early on in the pandemic. In late 2020 the King of Sweden stated: "I think we have failed. We have a large number who have died and that is terrible. "The people of Sweden have suffered tremendously in difficult conditions"
BBC: Sweden, which has never imposed a full lockdown, has seen nearly 350,000 cases and more than 7,800 deaths - a lot more than its Scandinavian neighbours. Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said he agreed with the king's remarks. "Of course the fact that so many have died can't be considered as anything other than a failure," Mr Lofven told reporters. Instead of relying on legal sanctions, Sweden appeals to citizens' sense of responsibility and civic duty, and issues only recommendations. There are no sanctions if they are ignored. Sweden has never imposed a nationwide lockdown or the wearing of masks, and bars and restaurants have remained open. However, earlier this week, schools across the Stockholm region were asked to switch to distance learning for 13 to 15-year-olds for the first time as soon as possible. The measure was announced in response to rising Covid-19 cases. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-55347021
As COVID 19 was and is the 'flu rebranded to make more money for big pharma the details are ultimately irrelevant. However, care homes were locked down in Sweden, residents neglected and they died. Utterly shameful.
