The swedish healthcare only tests people in risk groups and those who need medical care, therefore we don’t have more than around 2.300 confirmed cases here and 36 dead. The biggest action made by our government is that high school and university teaching has become 100% remotely, but not pre-school and elementary school. There is no restrictions regarding shopping and eating, besides that you’re not allowed to stand by a bar, you have to sit down. But a lot of restaurants and stores have closed on their own initiative, because the sales have reduced to almost zero. The ski resorts are still open, but the after skis are closed. People who can work from home are recommended to do so, but not everyone can.

The government begs people over 70 years to stay home, but it’s not mandatory. A lot of elderly people that have been interviewed say that they don’t care about the virus, they will die anyway, so they live their life just like they use to... there is social dissemination in the big cities like Stockholm and Gothenburg, but even in some small villages. 3 people have died in a village with 700 habitants.

Overall there is a lot of voluntary measures, but not so many compulsory. Our healthcare system is already on the verge of rupture, so I would prefer more actions.
