Sweden: No lockdowns, no masks, schools open..... NO DEATHS

Daily COVID Deaths in Sweden Hit Zero, as Other Nations Brace for More Lockdowns
ore than 100,000 people flooded streets in France over the weekend and multiple COVID vaccination centers were vandalized as opposition grew to the government’s most recent pandemic strategy. In President Emmanuel Macron’s latest incarnation of lockdowns, government officials have decreed that unvaccinated individuals will no longer be allowed to enter cafes, restaurants, theaters, public transportation and more.
Needless to say, people were not happy.
France’s approach is unique, but it’s just one of many countries around the world imposing new restrictions as fears grow over a new variant of COVID-19. Australia’s recent restrictions have placed half the country under strict lockdown—even though a record 82,000 tests had identified just 111 new coronavirus cases—while restaurants in Portugal are struggling to survive amid newly imposed restrictions.
One country not making much news is Sweden.
Sweden, of course, was maligned in 2020 for foregoing a strict lockdown. The Guardian called its approach “a catastrophe” in the making, while CBS News said Sweden had become “an example of how not to handle COVID-19.”
Despite these criticisms, Sweden’s laissez-faire approach to the pandemic continues today. In contrast to its European neighbors, Sweden is welcoming tourists. Businesses and schools are open with almost no restrictions. And as far as masks are concerned, not only is there no mandate in place, Swedish health officials are not even recommending them.
What are the results of Sweden’s much-derided laissez-faire policy? Data show the 7-day rolling average for COVID deaths yesterday was zero (see below). As in nada. And it’s been at zero for about a week now.
Even a year ago, it was clear the hyperbolic claims about “the Swedish catastrophe” were false; just ask Elon Musk (also see: here, here, and here). But a year later the evidence is overwhelming that Sweden got the pandemic mostly right. Sweden’s overall mortality rate in 2020 was lower than most of Europe and its economy suffered far less. Meanwhile, today Sweden is freer and healthier than virtually any other country in Europe.
As much of the world remains gripped in fear and nations devise new restrictions to curtail basic freedoms, Sweden remains a vital and shining reminder that there is a better way.

Can we at least follow Sweden’s lead with this wave. Do as they did and put an end to Covid.
We can’t hide from a virus.

Sweden did a great job of not forcing mandates
But in an ironic way, their people self locked down more than we did
My friends over there couldn’t beleive I was still having crawfish boils and get togetherness last spring.

Everyone should be accountable for their own decisions. Not the government. Fat people who lead an unhealthy lifestyle have a choice. That's the way it should be. The Govt shouldn't be sticking it's abnormally large nose in people's lives, especially when Bureaucrats and Politicians couldn't manage a Girl Scout bake sale.

Tourists are welcomed without restrictions and no testing.

Covidians still believe they need all the bullshite even though real world examples show success from the opposite approach.

It’s not a serious disease. It was and continues to be a power grab.
