My guess is they knew their migrant population wouldn't follow any restrictions. Between rapes and bombings they already lost control. Full-blown migrant riots would have destroyed their government.
Partially yes, the people did good, but the government fucked up as usual. Increased ventilation in apartment blocks or office buildings requires work from companies or the government, who would also have to pay more so that really never happened, I guess the problem sorted itself out with Surface and object cleaning as it also implies less dust flying around in the air.
As for Avoiding crowding, public transit companies quickly switched to weekend schedule, despite no decrease in the amount of travelers. This made every bus and train about twice as crowded as usual. Herd immunity was also the goal in the beginning, even if the government denies is. So there where literally people traveling around the country with the sole purpose to infect others.
Not only did they make the right choice, they protected their economy, and probably developed higher immunity among the population by letting them continue to interact normally.
although I refuse to believe it was based on science.
Anders Tegnell may be an idiot, but at least he understands scientific method. He once proposed to put Statin in the drinking water to lower peoples cholesterol, only problem is, that would have increased the risk of dementia and alzheimer. Luckily that faced too much resistance from the public so it was cancelled.
He also made the "plate model", which is a government designed chart over how to eat healthy, it goes something like 30% meat, 30% veggies and 40% bread, rice, sawdust... shit without nay sort of nutritious. People who obey it looks like North Korean factory workers.
I think the feminist government just didn't know what else to do and said fuck it we'll ignore it and see what happens.
Yep, this was also part of it. They did take advice from Anders Tegnell (Sweden's version of Fauci), but neither him or the government really had any clue on what to do. They also managed to burn every respirator and mask in the country just weeks before the plandemic broke out because they ran out of garbage at the heating plants, and had to throw in anything they could find into the boilers.
It's actually because their hospitals were already at capacity, so system collapse was inevitable regardless of mitigation measures.
That seems all the more reason to take mitigation measures, because "the system" will not collapse when there are more patients than hospital beds. You just have to turn more people away. The closer you are to capacity, the more people you will have to turn away.
So instead of fucking their economy up, they just let it ride, because they had no other option.
I mean, you have an awful lot of faith in a feminist government with a feminist foreign policy.
People have been turned away for decades. Despite the mass immigration, no new hospitals has been built. Smaller medical clinics has also shut down to save money, those where supposed to offload some of the minor injuries from the hospitals, while also housing dentists and a pharmacy.
Migrants however ignore the rules and head straight to the hospitals emergency room, no matter what minor issue they have. Socialists only tell them the healthcare is "free", not how it works.

We have the same thing here in America for illegal aliens, they just go straight to emergency room and taxpayers foot the bill.
Maybe globalists picked it as the control group but that would really harm the narrative compared to every other country on earth, so your initial hypothesis seems the most likely.
They needed a control group, and the control group has to be average and similar to most of the west which seems to be the main area they want to depopulate.
They would need tracking of every citizen, which once again makes Sweden a good choice as such infrastructure already exist. All it takes is to combine the logs from all private companies. Lot's of people use google maps for navigation with gps, every store chain has a membership program with discounts (and tracking), most interactions with the government is done digitally using a digital id that tracks your location. Internet connectivity almost everywhere. And the country is almost cashless.
As for the narrative, 100% of MSM is state funded and state approved. This is ironically why Sweden always rank high in "freedom of press", while in reality, any journalist who actually do journalism and investigate the government corruption does not get any money from the government obviously, and does not get the same legal protection as government approved journalists. So it's not uncommon for actual journalists to get censored from the internet and publishing companies, some even goes to prison.
And as you know, most libtards and lefties allover the world trust fake news media, who obviously get their information from fake news state controlled media in Sweden. State television (fake public service) has for months been fearmongering, crying about new cases, worse than ever REEEE, even tho stats says no new deaths for like a month. Sweden really has the the most fake, fake news media.
That's the main difference, Swedes don't trust the government. The only rules people obey are the ones needed to keep the society operational. Traffic rules are for the most part respected, except speed limits because the government always tries to lower them at all cost.
Alcohol... there's no way that can be regulated, there's a shitload of laws but nobody gives a fuck. Still, it doesn't harm anyone.
Waiting in line in a store... people realize it's just faster that way than if everyone where to fight over who's next.
I guess you can call it a hive mind in that sense, but the government has no say in what opinions that hive mind is supposed to have. All government can do is to raise taxes in an attempt to change peoples behaviour, but people always finds workarounds and loopholes if the new rule cannot be ignored.
Yeah true, you see a lot of laws being ignored by the newly imported Swedes from the 3rd world like laws against rape and friendly games of "catch this grenade"
They are especially ignorant to every law, especially those that keeps the society functional which is why nothing works anymore. The small police force where just enough to deal with local crimes before Olof Palme decided to mass import every monkey he could find to use as vote cattle for the socialist party.
This was back in the 70's, socialist party where falling, the country was more wealthy than ever so people started to vote more conservative in order to preserve the current state at the time, and lower the taxes.
It's funny, because the socialist party has always said "profit comes later", when their immigration politics is being criticized. Guess they where right, Sweden would definitely have turned out worse than Australia if the government had strict control over the people. But thanks to it being a failed state, it's also impossible to implement government tyranny.
I'll admit it I was wrong.
I initially laughed at Sweden and thought doing nothing was worse then a mandatory 2 week quarantine.
Turns out they made the right choice, although I refuse to believe it was based on science.

Sometimes, a weak, ineffective government is just as good as a freedom-loving government.
This was "The Science"* as of 2019:
I'd say they followed it pretty well for a "moderate" pandemic, which at worst is all the evidence ever suggested it was.

In before it's based on all the muslims in Sweden now
You do know that Sweden's admittedly feminist government did not pose any Coronavirus restrictions in order to kill as many men as possible, right?
That seems all the more reason to take mitigation measures, because "the system" will not collapse when there are more patients than hospital beds. You just have to turn more people away. The closer you are to capacity, the more people you will have to turn away.

I'm not even surprised.

Now if only they’d ban the other desert dwellers Israel’s been sending their way.
Sweden YES? But unironically? The world really has gone insane
The Jews trusted their government too much and most of them speak Hebrew.
Shit like this happening was inevitable.

Sweden is actually based only when it comes to COVID
I haven't checked but I bet this graph with Sweden's graph overlaid would be amusing.
What percentage of Israelis have been vaccinated? I heard 90% but also heard 80%.
Is that the highest rate in the world?
Not sure tbh but if not it's damn close
I see all the Muslims they imported finally did something good for a change.
Oy Vey! Such antisemetic!
