The Swedish strategy has changed dramatically since the 2nd wave hit. For months now it's required face masks in hospitals, care centres, public transport and public places. It's aggressively adopted a vaccination program. Unfortunately, there is some delay between actions and results due to the way COVID infections develop, but Sweden is now on the right path using masks and getting vaccinated. It never suspended vaccinations like Norway or Denmark, it couldn't afford to.
Very funny.
The main historical problem for Sweden came because they loosened restrictions too soon after the 1st wave and 2nd wave, and paid a huge price. The Swedish politicians basically listened to naysayers like yourself and it bit them on the ar5e!
Now they actually now follow the Melbourne like model, and it's going to serve them very well once they get cases back to manageable limits.
FYI, the latest official finding in Sweden;
Quote:The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences' independent review of the available evidence validates WHO's recommendations to keep a physical distance, wear a face mask, keep rooms ventilated, avoid crowds, and practise good hand and respiratory hygiene.
However, not until Dec 18, 2020, did the government give directives to start to translate more of these recommendations into practice including the use of face masks, as the trajectory of rapidly rising cases and deaths continues and intensive-care facilities and the health-care professionals are stretched to the limits in many regions in Sweden.
