Description

It is time for an open and serious discussion of the corona policy pursued. In particular, we must ask ourselves whether there really was no alternative to lockdowns and coronapas.

The answer to that question is yes, and the alternative is called Sweden. That country has only made very limited use of drastic measures such as lockdowns, mandatory quarantines and corona passes. It is remarkable how many voices stirred against the Swedish policy. It was portrayed as a disaster by The New York Times and Reuters. There was also criticism in medical journals, often on the person of Anders Tegnell, the architect of Sweden's corona policy.
