New York Times har jämfört Sveriges hantering av pandemin med den i andra länder:

In the end, “what the ‘Swedish model’ really suggests is that pandemic mitigation measures can be effectively deployed in a respectful, largely noncoercive way,” Francois Balloux wrote recently. “Obviously, being a rich country with a decent welfare net and achieving high vaccination rates didn’t hurt either.”

What kind of case study is this? And how replicable are its lessons in a country like the United States? Sweden never exactly let it rip, nor did the country truly expose its population to uninterrupted spread. Instead, it asked its citizens to protect themselves, according to a suite of best practices familiar to anyone who’s lived through the last three years with open eyes. And then to vaccinate like crazy. The result wasn’t painless; the country didn’t beat or even emerge unscathed from the pandemic. But it did survive it. Like much of the rest of the world.
