Oops, I typed an extra 0. 2,000,000 was the estimate widely published early in 2020. The mitigation measures were successful, but could have been far more successful if trump supporters did not turn the pandemic into yet another trump loyalty test. Sweden was a failure. Tegnell himself stressed that “Sweden did close down enormously” despite the lack of a formal lockdown. It had empty streets for much of 2020 and almost no cases of flu and other respiratory diseases as people worked from home and avoided travel and social contact, he said. Lucky for them, many Swedes used common sense and pragmatically stayed home on their own, masked up on their own and so on. Sweden’s government took a more active role in the pandemic during the second Covid-19 wave in December and January, imposing new restrictions.
