With no lockdowns or mask mandates, Sweden has little Covid problem | Eastern North Carolina Now

Sweden is an example to the world that citizens do not have to be deprived of their freedom to defeat the Wuhan coronavirus called Covid.  Despite the new variants that have the US left's panties in a twist, Sweden is seeing no daily Covid deaths, and a new research study shows that they have reached herd immunity.  Overall, their deaths from the disease were only a little over 14,000, far less than Belgium, a county with a similar population which took very aggressive lockdown measures.

What was Sweden's approach?  They had no lockdowns or mask mandates.  They did not limit the number of people in restaurants, shopping malls, public transportation, or other places.  High schools closed very temporarily but grade schools never closed at all.  Sweden's virologists from the beginning chose a strategy of seeking herd immunity, and it has worked.   What deaths have occurred were mostly early in the pandemic in nursing homes, which in retrospect should have had greater protection, and among the migrant community, the reason for the latter not yet determined.

As to the variants, herd immunity seems to offer better protection than the vaccines. Vaccines are available in Sweden, but the government is not pushing them.  Left to personal choice, vaccination rates in Sweden are at about the European average.

While personal freedom has been preserved, so has the economy, with Sweden's economy the best performing in Europe.

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper could learn a lot from Sweden instead of using what, in fact, is science fiction to impose Faucism, a type of fascism, by government decree on North Carolinians.
