Swedish government again say they’re not going to lockdown and will not make face masks compulsory

(抜粋)スウェーデン政府は、ロックダウンの予定は無いし、マスクの義務化もしない予定であると語っています。

Whether they got it right or wrong, no one knows at this stage, only time will tell. Sweden are not locking their people down due to the pandemic.

As Ireland enters week two of its second lockdown, the Swedes are preparing to continue as is with no lockdown and no mandatory face masks.

 

The Nordic nation of Sweden, which never enforced a Covid-19 lockdown, has so far dodged a second Covid-19 wave which many other European nations, including Ireland are reporting.

No lockdown, no face masks, businesses are open and public transport is bustling, yet Sweden has not reported a new increase in Covid-19 cases while other nations who enforced sever lockdowns such as Spain and mandated face masks are experiencing a new jump in cases of the Chinese plague.

The population of Sweden seem to be benefiting from widespread immunity to the Covid-19 vaccine which has been attributed to the country’s refusal to go into full lockdown as most other European countries did during the pandemic.

The Director of the Swedish public health agency, Professor Johan Carlson, has said the government’s decision to not to impose a full lockdown during the first wave of the coronavirus is to thank for the current situation in which record amounts of testing is resulting in only a small number of positives.

In just the past week past week the Scandinavian country carried out more than 120,000 tests, a record in Sweden, of which only 1.3 % identified the disease, the Sun reports.

At the height of the Chinese virus pandemic the proportion was 19 %.

While the death rates of people in Sweden who had tested positive for the coronavirus was higher than other Nordic countries, they were also significantly lower than other European countries who had imposed stringent lockdowns.

同じ北欧の国と言っても、それぞれの国で考え方は異なるようです。しかし、弱者(高齢者等)に対する扱いが冷淡過ぎるように思えるのですが・・・。
