btw., Branson telling us to copy Stockholm borders on offensive, I'm getting over these old billionaire's protecting their bank balances at a cost to individuals.
It's OK to make these claims that the young and healthy weren't affect, retrospectively, but at the time there was no certainty that COVID wasn't going to be as deadly for youth as it was elderly. In effect Sweden's gambled the wellbeing of it's youth, and reports of it's great pandemic success are more political spin than hard reality.
What Sweden did do well, which is reported as "not locking down" or "not following WHO guidelines", was that it went for a softer approach over hard lockdowns. Re-organising commerce to avoid things like peak hour travel and transport crowding. But it was starting as a society that was already well into a partial work from home / minimise carbon emissions ethic before the pandemic, and it took that to another level.
