Let's see if anyone wants to ask any questions. I've NC:d for this so I can be quite frank without anything being connected to my usual username.
Population of Sweden is about 9 million. Yesterday the Covid-19 stats were 1167 proven cases of infection, which means 12 cases for every 100 000 inhabitants. 57 % of the infected are men, apparently.
I live in one of Sweden's bigger cities, about an hour away from Stockholm, and work for a neighbouring municipality (council) so I commute to work on public transport. Unlike the rest of Scandinavia Sweden has not closed schools (although there is a recommendation since this week to close high schools and over and have classes remotely). I have a 12-yo who is going to school as normal. No lock downs, no forced measures beyond the fact that no large gatherings are permitted for the time being (500 people and over). IMO things are pretty much carrying on as normal but with a LOT of people working from home if they can.
I fully support the Swedish approach to not locking everything down.
There's a lot of panic going on on Mumsnet and we've had a few "what's it like to be in lockdown" threads, so I thought I'd post one from the other side.
