A new study finds that by refusing to lock its people down or impose draconian restrictions, Sweden got through the Coronavirus-crisis with no more casualties than comparable countries with very harsh measures, such as Belgium.
However, due to the increased herd immunity which Swedes have built in the process, Sweden is now in a much less vulnerable position than other countries. E.g. there is little risk for a “second wave” in Sweden, as most people there have already built immunity through exposure to the virus – an enormous advantage as we are facing the colder seasons of the year, with their annual influenza waves.
