Is Sweden's Soft Lockdown Working?

The video discusses Sweden's unique approach to handling COVID-19, which avoided a full lockdown and instead relied on public adherence to health guidelines. This strategy aimed to minimize economic and social impacts. Despite higher COVID-19 mortality rates compared to other Nordic countries, Sweden's fatalities per capita were lower than in the UK, Spain, Italy, and France. The Swedish government has maintained public support, and hospitals have not been overwhelmed. Experts suggest that a full evaluation of Sweden's approach will require more time to assess both epidemiological and socio-economic outcomes.
