That second photo of CPV is very Law and Order. She and PD look like they're interrogating a suspect! Hahaaaa lol!
@LadyEloise - ah don't worry about me, I'm just swamped at work because people are staying home when sick so we're spread a little thinner than normal, and also we have to work with a lot more long-distance meetings that we weren't fully equipped for. I am also fielding a LOT of stupid questions from people who should know better. (Tbf there''s nothing going on royal clothing-wise ;) .)
I fully support the Swedish approach btw, it's all very sensible and measured and based on scientific facts. Every weekday there is a joint press conference with The Public Health Agency, the National Board of Health and Welfare, The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency and random organisations who have something to say that day (The Red Cross was there for example last week talking about organising civilians). It's a fecking JOY to watch. So calm and matter of fact, no posturing. No politicians unless invited.
It does work partly because the country is sparsely populated and only while the curve stays reasonably flat, if it starts to spike then the politicians will start imposing actual rules and shout a lot. Now we are working under "recommendations" from the agencies responsible but recommendation in agency-speak in Sweden does mean rule, just not enforceable in hard law.
So it's business as usual here, just common sense. Economy is still taking a terrible hit, healthcare is crying out for more staff etc. But it still feels manageable, TG. Helps that the schools and preschools/daycares are open so people can work of course, which also adds to a sense of normalcy.
Just as in the UK people are idiots of course, social distancing when out and about seems like a hard concept to grasp for example. Dumbasses.
