Default Sweden



More and more it's looking like Sweden had the
best approach to the covid-19 pandemic.

The country is affected, for sure, but the
death rate per 100,000 population is just
about the same as that here in the USA.

Difference is, although they recommended the
same basic precautions of social distancing,
avoiding large crowds, etc., Sweden did
not shut down their economy as we and many
other nations, including neighboring Norway
did.

Schools remained open, businesses remained
open, including restaurants and bars.

They did impose a 30 day ban on non-essential
travel *to* Sweden except for members of the
European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland.
That means that travel to Sweden from the
following countries is allowed:

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Iceland, Italy,
Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands,
Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Go figure.
