> The interesting thing about Sweden is that they are going through a second wave even though they basically didn't do anything to stop the virus. That's a misrepresentation of what happened in Sweden. While there was no formal lockdown, people absolutely voluntarily engaged in some level of social distancing. You only need to look at the economic data, which shows a major domestic slowdown, to see that people clearly changed their behaviour. It just wasn't mandated by the state. In fact, the same pattern is visible in other nations. That is, individual behaviour changed in advance of lockdowns pretty consistently across a variety of countries.
