Yep, those factors probably explain a good part of why the Swedish authorities have decided on these policies and recommendations.

Our State Epidemiologist, Anders Tegnell, has been pretty explicit in stating that these policies are not “one size fits all”, other countries will need to set their own policies in accordance with their situation and conditions.

PS. IMHO, the homogeneity of the Swedish society is sometimes a bit overstated. Believe or not but there is still some room left for having your own opinions and lifestyle here ;-) And our society is probably less conformist now than during the postwar/cold war era.

[Edited to add PS and fix spelling error.]



Exactly. Sweden is quite probably the least homogeneous country in northern Europe with huge changes in the population the last 10-15 years.


Yep. And we’ve also grown a bit. Norway/Finland/Denmark have ~5M inhabitants each, while Sweden has twice as many.
