Some in Sweden second-guess its strategy

Sweden’s light-touch lockdown, which has seen schools, bars, restaurants and gyms left open, is under debate in the country. The country has a higher death toll per capita than its Nordic neighbours, which are opening their borders to each other — but not to Sweden. But the approach has advantages for the economy and to aspects of public health, such as mental wellbeing. It looks likely to be some time before we see clearly how Sweden’s ‘third way’ will pan out. “All of us who work with this, every day and night, we think, ‘Was this right or wrong?’” says communicable-disease control officer Leif Dotevall. “Some days we think we were right and other days not at all. Finally, we may be surprised to see the whole picture.”
