This is incorrect, please refer to the press conferences held by FHM between march and june. I think every other one had a question about herd immunity (mostly from international media) and that herd immunity was not the strategy that sweden focused on.
- dessant 6y agoWhat goal was Sweden pursuing by taking no real action in the beginning of the pandemic? The reasons might be unclear, but the lack of action has been properly documented.
- catears 6y agoI think this is actually incorrect. Again, there is so much misinformation about this that I don't blame anyone. I think there was quite a lot of things being done. I believe the goal was to keep people informed about the dangers of the virus and how to protect themselves, the most important parts being to wash your hands and social distance. I think they also provide information tailored to different sectors (like healthcare) and advise them on how to fight the virus. It's then up to the different sectors how they handle their specific situation. I think that Sweden is perceived to not take action when it did. I think this comes from the politicians stepping aside and "transferring the leadership" to FHM (doing the opposite would be political suicide in Sweden). In some other countries you have had politicians boasting how good their response is. I've even seen politicians claim that people of their race just handle the disease better. FHM doesn't have the same vested interest in looking good.
