Isn't it a bit early to say that? As I understand it, there is still so much we don't understand about SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. I am not sure whether the other strategies were better either, I think it would be a little premature to vindicate any strategy.
I am merely speculating here, maybe due to the situation, Swedes had generally been more careful than their neighbours (i.e. Denmark, Norway and Finland), because their situation remained worse and worsened for longer, and they might be seeing a downturn in cases a few months later than neighbouring countries. Again, just speculating, but I also feel vindicating their strategy at this stage is doing exactly the same.
- nytesky 6y agoI think THIS may be the true secret to Swedish strategy, much like NYC -- it got so bad it really changed the conversation and people are still shell shocked and caution remains high to maintain social distancing, defer gathering in groups etc. If they aren't really getting together much indoors, masks won't be necessary for now (may need to be outside once winter comes and UV drops precipitously).
