The snark is adorable and comically out of place.
Swedish schools closed for the summer break just as COVID was peaking. They return in just over a week. Businesses are sparse because few people are shopping. Restaurants and bars were closed, and other than that have strict reduced occupancy.
But Florida man is sure that Everything Is Normal. It's hilarity. That "look they didn't close their schools"...when they were closed regardless. Hurr.
"And masks aren't mandated, but most people are wearing them?"
Masks are necessary when you're in close proximity to other people. Swedes aren't getting in close proximity to other people. Are you getting this?
The Cult of Idiocy that has overtaken the US isn't there in Sweden. Florida in their highest level of lockdown has dramatically more social interaction than Sweden minus it.
