Let's start with sources on those first items before we get to an explanation.
My general understanding is that Sweden recommended certain things but never technically enforced anything, so I'm not sure what "compliance" means.
- modeless 6y agohttps://www.google.com/covid19/mobility/ https://www.google.com/covid19/mobility/ says lockdown compliance has not changed much in my area and is trending slightly down if anything. I'm not aware of data on mask usage in my area, but a lack of confirmed scientific data shouldn't paralyze us; that results in problems like failing to recommend mask usage.
- mbesto 6y ago> but a lack of confirmed scientific data shouldn't paralyze us Huh? That was not the point in contention. You said "the only conclusion is that the herd immunity numbers must be wrong" but have shown no evidence whatsoever to back that up.
- modeless 6y agoYou're putting words in my mouth; I did not say that at all. I asked "what explanation is there". I think a good discussion has resulted with some good points being made and some good data being shared.
