In Sweden, Where There Was No Lockdown, COVID Cases & Deaths Have Slowed to a Trickle

Confounding claims by many that its open society approach to coronavirus would spectacularly backfire, Sweden, which didn't enforce any mandatory lockdown order, has seen its coronavirus cases and deaths slow to a trickle.

Back in March, when Sweden announced that it would adopt a different approach to much of the rest of the world by refusing to shut down its economy and instead aim for herd immunity, public health experts and media commentators were aghast at the decision, warning that the country's hospitals would be overwhelmed with COVID victims.

Summing up the attitude towards Sweden's approach, Danish journalist Lisbeth Davidsen said it was "like watching a horror movie."

Fast forward five months and the horror show predicted by many has completely failed to materialize.

While fears of a "second wave" of coronavirus continue to plague other European countries that completely locked down and enforced draconian face mask rules, Sweden has recorded barely a trickle of COVID cases and deaths so far in August.
