[G50]

Other than the cohort of people (1) over 70 AND (2) in nursing homes or home care, Sweden didn’t do too bad at all.
Kept schools open, businesses open etc. Life for a lot of people, including kids, was not turned upside down.

“As of June 24, 3,612 people aged 70 or more living in care homes or receiving home care had died from Covid-19, according to data from the National Board of Health and Welfare. That represents 79% of the total deaths recorded up to that date.”

Those people are already “sheltered in place,” so Sweden’s approach suggests a lot of things.

Perhaps one being that forcing non-retirement age, healthy people to hide in their houses for 3 months may not necessarily be that useful or of the most net benefit.

Another one being their keeping their schools open. They don’t have the mess that we now have with kids going back to school soon, and now 2 years of education being disrupted.
