Covid-🇸🇪

When Sweden initially adopted a laissez-faire approach to deal with the coronavirus crisis, by not imposing a lockdown, allowing non-essential businesses to operate, and making physical distancing optional, which resulted in a death rate that is five to six times higher than that of its Scandinavian neighbors.

Sweden’s controversial strategy of aiming for herd immunity while imposing few restrictions on its population to contain the Covid-🇸🇪 crisis had turned out to be a social experiment fiasco for its political leaders—its death rate had led its neighbors to keep their borders closed to the Swedish people and products.
