Figurehead ruler, no European country has a monarchy where the king or queen gets heavily into politics.
As the rest of Europe lives under lockdown, Sweden keeps calm and carries on
All its neighbours have shut up shop to beat coronavirus but the Swedes insist ‘we are not in quarantine’. Is that the right approach?www.theguardian.com
Very interesting.
It has only been in the past couple of days that the death toll has started to increase significantly, rising by a third in a single day on Thursday and Friday, with 92 people now dead and 209 in intensive care. As he announced the tighter restrictions on Friday, the prime minister, Stefan Löfven, warned that the coming weeks and months would be tough.
But he defended the decision not to implement the tighter restrictions seen in Denmark, France and the UK. “We all, as individuals, have to take responsibility. We can’t legislate and ban everything,” he said. “It is also a question of commonsense behaviour.”
Anders Tegnell, Sweden’s state epidemiologist, believes it is counterproductive to bring in the tightest restrictions at too early a stage. “As long as the Swedish epidemic development stays at this level,” he tells the Observer, “I don’t see any big reason to take measures that you can only keep up for a very limited amount of time.”

It's always good to see another take on the experiment.
I think Italy, France, Spain are in lockdown and their cases are going way way up.....If they turn soon...great.
We'll know something.
But unless Sweden gets really sick...we'll know something else.
Sweden is run by a King, not by NWO bitches like Merkel, Putin, Erdogan, Macron & Co

The mortality rate in Sweden is now one of the highest in the world.

Going to keep bumping it.
Sooner or later, the left will face the fact that someone is doing this right.

Sweden to ramp up coronavirus testing

Yes.
And their reported serious cases are twice as many as other countries.
I suspect this is because of the issues with the virus in the old folks homes.
From the Vanity Fair Article:
With these premises in mind, Sweden has pumped the brakes instead of slamming on them. You close school for older kids, but you keep grade school going, because evidence so far suggests that younger children are not a major cause of transmission for the novel coronavirus. (The opposite is true of influenza: Kids are the big spreaders.)
You prohibit standing room and shoulder-to-shoulder seating in popular bars and restaurants, but you allow them to keep operating with greater space between tables and customers. You encourage people to keep a physical distance among one another, but you don’t command it.
Interesting point: Individuals have to take responsibility. You can’t legislate and ban everything. It is also a question of commonsense behaviour.As the rest of Europe lives under lockdown, Sweden keeps calm and carries on

What is the point to take measures that you can only keep up for a very limited amount of time? In our case, it may have forced us to spend over two trillion dollars we don't have and couldn't afford to spend, and all for a virus that may end up killing a lot of people anyway and will likely come back next year?

There is no evidence that anything we have done has had any impact at all on the natural course of the disease. I think Sweden's position is the only one that makes any sense.
