   Now, one year later I am curious as to 'how they are doing'. Did it work or not? How about with the new Omicron varient?

   Britains expert Neil Fergusson thought Sweden would get 85000 deaths? 😀 He really got his numbers wrong unless the Virus suddenly mutates into a super killer and then everyone on earth will be in danger. Still missing another 60k deaths to fulfill his prediction. And the UK has more deaths per 100k people. Which is tragic ofcourse. The United states also got a higher deathrate per capita.

   Just counting cases doesn't compare, because people are now largely vaccinated, so an infection isn't as dangerous anymore as it was in the beginning.

   Sweden is a disaster. You forget how media mentioned Sweden's overconfidence led the pandemic to expose.

   Ok hasn't anyone heard of home schooling. Working from home and take away only restaurants. That is part of Australia's strategy

   Our government aren’t allowed to lock down it’s in our constitution
   They can’t force us to stay at home 🏠
   But we try and follow their advice
   And how did it work for all countries who have had lock down ?
   We are down to a few every week now
   And our economy running good also

   the bigger sense of community in the region the greater change of controlling the spread of covid. even here in Aus. QLD is way way more community focused compared to Sydney and Melbourne where they are more self preservation focused.

    I think, in hindsight, this was a brilliant move by China. Let's cause an economic war, we don't need bullets. Spread the virus, the whole world goes into lock down, factories close and the only place producing anything is us so we'll be top of the pile. Job done.

    As the pandemic draws to an end in the coming months I would love to see you guys cover this topic again. It would be great to get a sort of update on the issue and perhaps get the bigger picture. 🙂

    Sweden is as F-d as any country, every small business owner, musicians, you name it, is gone.
    Make room for:
    Great Reset, you will own nothing but be happy.

    Sweden also has a pretty low population density and is quite large, making traveling between regions less practical, compared to most other European countries. This is also a natural barrier to spread of disease.

    Denmark, for example, the 2nd worst affected country in the Nordic area has 5.5 times the population density and is 410,000 km2 smaller than Sweden. It only takes 3 hours and 45 minutes by train from Aarhus (2nd largest city) to Copenhagen (largest city and capital), and they are almost on each end of the country.

    When taking this into consideration, Sweden has done quite poorly compared to Denmark, which did have a strict lockdown. Sweden has 3.3 times the deaths/capita compared to Denmark, in July 2021.

    As of june 29th, 2021, Sweden has about 14 600 dead (ca 1 400/million) while neighbouring countries like Finland and Norway, with similar culture and population densities, but With lockdown, each have under 1000 dead and under 175 dead per million. Denmark, similar in culture but way higher density than Sweden, lies at ca 2500 dead and 440 dead per million.
    So it is rather safe to say that Sweden's strategy was a fail.

    I live in FLORIDA, we agree with Sweden. Our restaurants and businesses are open with little to no effect. The lockdown was worse than the disease.

    Considering that Sweden only has a population density of 25/km2 and The Netherlands (my country) has 511.5/km2 It's not comparible.

    A thing most ppl don't realize is that the Swedish government aren't allowed to force lockdown or masks on their population thanks to our constitution
