The statement omits the fact that mandatory measures can be imposed when it comes to diseases classified as dangerous for the public, which covid-19 is. So while it's the citizen's responsibility not to spread diseases, the law also provides for mandatory isolation of people who are unable or unwilling to follow precautions.
The outbreak has absolutely dominated the news and public discourse for nearly two months now. There's lots of coverage of Sweden's strategy, including opposition to it, and its coverage in foreign press. Politics has been likewise dominated by the government's response and he opposition's reaction to it. I really don't get the feeling that there's a lack of debate on anything covid-related, although the nature of the event means that the usual Swedish process of taking decisions by slowly building up to a consensus cannot apply.
