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.

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.

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.

Sometimes, a weak, ineffective government is just as good as a freedom-loving government.

This was "The Science"* as of 2019:

  • Hand hygiene
  • Respiratory etiquette
  • Face masks for symptomatic individuals
  • Surface and object cleaning
  • Increased ventilation
  • Isolation of sick individuals
  • Travel advice
  • Avoiding crowding

I'd say they followed it pretty well for a "moderate" pandemic, which at worst is all the evidence ever suggested it was.

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.
