| Naum said: Sweden finally decided to banned gatherings over 50 people... we still havent heard what types of gatherings is not effected... Still isnt enough but atleast its something. |
I'm shocked that so little is being done here, I visited my family in Norway a couple of weeks ago, drove back yesterday, not a single soul on the border and completely free passage into Sweden. Even in my house here in Stockholm, people are scurrying about as usual, despite most of the tenants being elderly and/or belonging to various groups at risk.
Stockholm city has decided that restaurants will be allowed to open their outdoor seating and serving earlier this year in order to get more people to go out and eat and drink at bars and restaurants. They refuse to close bars and pubs, but say it's not allowed to stand in the bar to order, gyms and swimming pools still open, schools still open (universities and high schools are closed though), and graduate students in senior high are going to be allowed back in school as well.
I went to buy some groceries a few hours ago, stores were packed, people standing with their nethers pressed together in queues, pushing around and generally acting as if nothing's amiss. And the two stores I visited were positively swimming with elderly people.
Why did Norway enforce mandatory measures? Because that's apparently the only that works. People here in Stockholm are still going skiing in other regions as well, fucking idiots. Sweden has a death rate three times higher than Norway now but insists that the Norwegians are making a mistake (and the rest of Europe as well, of course). Unbelievable is what it is.
I feel sorry for my friends who work at hospitals here. And I feel sorry for the Swedish people who are being led by such a feeble bunch. The only reason Riksdagen isn't pushing for more mandatory quarantine measures is that they're afraid of being blamed for crashing the economy. Let's see what happens when the healthcare system collapses; it was on its way even before the pandemic. Fucking hell.
