Google Mobility Report says "Retail and recreation" is down 27% in Stockholms län. Blunt statistics, but you can't pretend an almost 1/3 drop in business is anywhere near normal. Some areas of the city look almost normal, yes, but other areas of the city are deserted wastelands. I'm sorry you are surrounded by idiots who are ignoring the official recommendations, but statistics show that your experience isn't universal.

    You said bars are closed. That's not true. The fact that in the county of Stockholm (ie: not central Stockholm) the supposed movement of people for 'retail and recreation' (as measured by Google) is down 27% is something completely different. Personally I'm not surprised that people are out a bit less - I'm not meeting my friends in bars at the moment, for instance. But a rainy week could have an impact on bars and pubs at this time of year. A 27% fall (if true) is hardly surprising, given the circumstances right now. In central Stockholm the bars, restaurants and even parks are full of people.

  Somewhere in the periphery of Gothenburg.
