Swedish social democracy blames immigrants for their own disastrous coronavirus response. It's high time US socialists stopped idolizing Sweden.

One of the problems with using masks was how bullish FHM was up until very recently about how they don't help. So the Swedish exceptionalism slams in and suddenly everyone else is just doing it wrong. It was only in the last month that FHM recommended masks if you're in crowded public transport.
And those recommendations only came into effect last week, at least in my region, and it's actually been very impactful, from <10% to >50% of people on the bus I'd say. Recommendations and rules work, the government trusts individuals to take responsibility way too much
Yeah. If there is one thing that should have made the corona response a slam dunk it is how trusting swedish people tend to be of government advice. If instead of spending about a year muddling through with half measures they'd gone in with decisive action thousands of deaths could have been avoided. Like, sure, if everyone followed social distance perfectly masks would not be necessary, but I don't see how people will ever be able to do that fully. They are an extra precaution and should be recommended as such. When coupled with how they didn't even want to test people for corona unless you were seriously ill at the start, there was nowhere to go other than disaster.
They didn't even discourage going to fucking ski resorts this winter. Ski resorts are a place where illness has never spread, as we all know. Might as well start having music festivals and expect people to stand 2,5 meters apart.
Absolutely. The hard rules don't seem to be enforced either. I'm pretty sure restaurants shouldn't have more than 4 people per table but where I work we've never done anything about it, I kinda want the company to get charged.
